• intensively investigated in recent years, and various methods such as adsorption, biodegradation, photocatalytic degradation and chemical oxidation have been developed [1][2][3][4]. Among them, photocatalytic degradation is considered as one of the most effective strategies due to its high removal efficiency

• wavelength of 664 nm (Supporting Information File 1, Figure S1, Figure S2, Table S1). The adsorption capacity and removal efficiency of MB for carbon nanospheres were obtained via the following equations. where Qe (mg/g) is the adsorption capacity, c0 (mg/L) and ce (mg/L) are the initial and equilibrium

• as a model for organic pollutants) from water. The absorption of MB on CP6 was very fast; the adsorption capacity and the removal efficiency of MB after 2 h of adsorption reached 190.0 mg/g and 96.1%, respectively. The MB adsorption capacity of CP6 is higher than most of those reported carbon
