still encouraging enormous attention to discover further extraordinary potential with
high efficiency for the removal of dyes.
Summary In this book chapter we explored the synthesis of carbon dots by utilizing green
biomass sources such as fruits, vegetables and kitchen waste. As green approach for the synthesis
of C-dots has received greater attention because it reduces both costs, time and results in high yield
formation of environment-friendly material. The biomass derived C-dots were found to be highly
biocompatible and non-toxic in nature. The adsorption properties of developed C-dots further
investigated out in dye removal. The large surface area, high chemical stability and superior
catalytic activities made the nanomaterials as potential candidate for the removal of dyes. The
correlation between the morphology and size of nanomaterials has also been discussed with
reference to their dye removal efficiency.
