Fluorescence materials such as carbon dots are unique and non-toxic materials that can be produced using many methods. In this research, synthesis and optical characterization of carbon dots from the peels of dragon fruit and pear have been done. The synthesis uses bottom-up method using microwave with 20 minutes, 40 minutes, and 80 minutes of heating time. The result of optical characterizations showed that the samples that have been heat treated are carbon dots based of the absorbance in the range of 280-350 nm, and the intensity are decreased in the range of visible and infrared wavelength. There are emission and intensity changes by different heat treatments. From the samples of dragon fruit's peels, the emission wavelength tended to shift toward visible light at the wavelength of 551.51 nm, 507.98 nm and 487.28 nm with the excitation at the wavelength of 420 nm from pulsed pico-laser. While, the emission wavelength from the samples of pears peels were fluctuate in wavelength of 529.09 nm, 507.52 nm and 519.46 nm. Similarly, the time-resolved photoluminescence characterization test showed that there were time changes in each sample of carbon dot. The decay lifetime of carbon dots was fluctuated between 4.5 ns - 5.4 ns for dragon fruit’s peels and about 1.9 ns - 2.4 ns for pear's peels.

Hydrogen (H2) has proved itself as a viable future energy carrier and alternative for fossil fuel in terms of ensuring a clean and sustainable energy supply. However, H2 must be made available at a lower cost so that everyone can benefit from it and prevent causing a worldwide ecological imbalance. The usage of photoelectrochemical water splitting (PEC) technology by using TiO2 photocatalyst can produce H2 using renewable solar energy. The essential milestones, as well as the mechanism in PEC H2 generation, are discussed in this article.
