Dye Degradation, Antimicrobial Activity, and Molecular Docking Analysis of Samarium-Grafted Carbon Nitride Doped-Bismuth Oxobromide Quantum Dots.

ABSTRACT: Various concentrations of samarium-grafted-carbon nitride (Sm-g-C₃N₄) doped-bismuth oxobromide (BiOBr) quantum dots (QDs) are prepared by the co-precipitation method. Elemental evaluation, morphological, optical, and functional group assessment are studied employing characterization techniques. Based on the XRD pattern analysis, it is determined that BiOBr exhibits a tetragonal crystal structure. The electronic spectroscopy revealed an absorption peak for BiOBr at 315 nm and the bandgap energy (E _g) decreasing from 3.9 to 3.8 eV with the insertion of Sm-g-C₃N₄. The presence of vibrational modes related to BiOBr at 550 cm^-1 is confirmed through FTIR spectra. TEM revealed that pure BiOBr possessed non-uniform QDS, and a
