Quantum Dot Supraparticle Photocatalysts for Photodegradation of Rhodamine B
) achieving full transformation to Rhodamine 110. We also show that for QDs and SPs with comparable overall surface area, SPs degrade RhB much faster under both UV and white light irradiation. In addition, the reusability of the QD-based SPs is dramatically improved compared to that of QDs. These findings demonstrate the strong potential of QD-based SPs as photocatalytic materials for environmental, energy, chemical, and biomedical applications.
