Qatar University researchers develop innovative nanomaterial from date palm waste

In Qatar, Zawya reported that a Qatar University (QU) research team have pioneered a sustainable method for the preparation of innovative nanomaterial, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) from date palm leaf waste.

This project, which started in January 2022, uses water as a solvent, achieving a virtually chemical-free synthesis of GQDs and spotlighting a notable advancement in eco-friendly scientific methods, according to the report.

The report highlighted that GQDs have transformative potential for TV, laptop, and mobile screens.
