Such extinction from the reaction media is unique as no other material is known to do so and advantageous because the removal of carbon-dots from a solution is rather inefficient from an industry-viewpoint due to their high solubility. Instead, the inexpensive CQDs can be discarded casually with the notion that they will gradually get eliminated from the environment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9.594</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
