Enhancing the Fluorescence of Graphene Quantum Dots with a Oxidation Way

Article Preview

Abstract:

It is a facile and efficient way to produce grapheme quantum dots (GQDs) through photo-Fenton reaction. However, the fluorescence of the as-generated GQDs is weak. Here, bright yellow-green fluorescent graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were prepared by post-oxidation of the GQDs with H2O2. The fluorescence quantum yields of the post-oxidized GQDs (O-GQDs) increased from 0.08% to 3.3% and the maximum emission wavelength shifted from 450 to 510 nm. The O-GQDs exhibit excitation-independent and pH-dependent photoluminescence behaviors. The increase of the photoluminescence intensity is attributed to the more carbonyl and carboxyl groups after the post-oxidation. The post-oxidation treatment offers a simple pathway to enhance the fluorescence of GQDs.
