Abstract

Zero-dimensional graphene quantum dots (GQDs) exhibit many different properties, such as strong fluorescence, non-zero band gap and solubility in solvents, as compared to the two-dimensional graphene. GQDs are biocompatible with low toxicity, hence they are widely used in the biomedical field. The e...
