Efficient cationic dye removal from water through skin-derived carbon nanospheres: a rapid and sustainable approach.

The present study investigates the potential of skin-derived carbon nanospheres (CNSs) as an efficient adsorbent for the rapid removal of cationic dyes from aqueous solutions. The CNSs were synthesized through a facile, cost-effective, catalyst-free and environmentally friendly process, utilizing skin waste as a precursor. This is the first reported study on the synthesis of mesoporous carbon nanospheres from skin.
