Two widely available green organicprecursors, the Argentinean herb Mate and the Stevia plant have been selected as the carbogenic sourceto thermally induce the formation of different types of CNDs with different levels of N and P doping andtunable photoluminescence response in the UV–vis-near infrared (NIR) ranges. These CNDs have beensuccessfully assembled with TiO2to form heterogeneous photocatalysts that are highly active in thevisible-light and NIR- driven photodegradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), a persistent chlorinatedorganic compound present in numerous pesticide formulations. 000070842 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/MAT2016-79776-P$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/312483/EU/Enabling Science and Technology through European Electron Microscopy/ESTEEM 2$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/294094/EU/Synthesis and characterization of NANOstructured materials with LumInescent properties for diaGnostic and tHerapeuTic applications/NANOLIGHT$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EUR/ERC/HECTOR-267626$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E26 000070842 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000070842 590__ $$a11.698$$b2017 000070842 591__ $$aCHEMISTRY, PHYSICAL$$b12 / 146 = 0.082$$c2017$$dQ1$$eT1 000070842 591__ $$aENGINEERING, ENVIRONMENTAL$$b1 / 50 = 0.02$$c2017$$dQ1$$eT1 000070842 591__ $$aENGINEERING, CHEMICAL$$b3 / 137 = 0.022$$c2017$$dQ1$$eT1 000070842 592__ $$a3.152$$b2017 000070842 593__ $$aCatalysis$$c2017$$dQ1 000070842 593__ $$aProcess Chemistry and Technology$$c2017$$dQ1 000070842 593__ $$aEnvironmental Science (miscellaneous)$$c2017$$dQ1 000070842 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000070842 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-4546-4111$$aHueso, José L. 000070842 700__ $$aFerdousi, Shammi 000070842 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-2071-9093$$aArenal, Raul$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000070842 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-2966-9088$$aIrusta, Silvia$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000070842 700__ $$aYeung, King L. 000070842 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-8701-9745$$aSantamaria, Jesus$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000070842 7102_ $$15005$$2555$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
