In this study, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were synthesized by a low-cost and scalable approach and the oxygen functional groups were fine-tuned by chemical post-treatment. It was found that the CQDs could be applied as visible-light-responsive photocatalysts for activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and remediation of aqueous organic dyes. Phenylhydrazine modified CQDs (CQDs-PH) presented high efficiency for degradation of methylene blue due to selective removal of carboxylic groups and inhibited recombination of photogenerated electronhole pairs. The effects of catalyst dosage, species and concentrations of dyes, and initial pH values on the photodegradation efficiency were systematically investigated and the alkaline condition facilitates the separation of photoinduced charge carriers and promotes the dye decoloration. The reactive oxygen species produced in the photocatalysis were identified by radical quenching tests and the mechanism was elucidated. Superoxide radicals were generated from PMS activation via electron transfer from CQDs and played the primary role in organic oxidation. In addition, photogenerated holes on the valence band of CQDs also participated in the dye decomposition.
