Large scale preparation of graphene quantum dots from graphite with tunable fluorescence properties
Abstract
We report an improved Hummers method for synthesizing graphene quantum dots (GQDs) by directly oxidizing and etching graphite powders. The yield of GQDs is as high as 63 ± 7% (by weight, wt%), suggesting this technique is suitable for producing GQDs on a large scale. The GQDs are nanocrystals with lateral dimensions in the range of 2-4 nm and an average thickness of around 1.3 nm. The emission peaks of as-prepared GQDs can be tuned in the range of 440 to 510 nm by varying the reaction conditions. Their fluorescence quantum yields were tested to be around 1%, which could be further increased to about 3% by hydrothermal treatment. These GQDs have low cytotoxicity and excellent biocompatibility, indicating that they are promising for biological applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
