A novel acid-driven, microwave-assisted, one-pot strategy toward rapid production of graphitic N-doped carbon nanoparticles-decorated carbon flakes from N,N-dimethylformamide and their application in removal of dye from water

The present communication reports on a novel one-pot strategy toward rapid production of N-doped carbon nanoparticles-decorated carbon flakes (N-CNP-CFs) by microwave irradiation of N,N-dimethylformamide in the presence of H3PO4 for the first time. It suggests these N-CNP-CFs exhibit excellent ability to remove dye from water.
