[Display omitted] A novel nitrogen doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) mediated Ag3PO4/BiVO4 Z-scheme photocatalyst was synthesized through a solvothermal-precipitation method. The as-prepared photocatalysts were comprehensive characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy, sca...
