Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Glucose-derived water-soluble crystalline graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with average diameter as small as 1.65 nm (~5 layers) were prepared by a facile hydrothermal-assisted microwave pyrolysis method. The GQDs exhibits deep ultraviolet (DUV) emission of 4.1 eV, which is the shortest emission wavelength among all the solution-based QDs. The GQDs exhibit typical excitation wavelength dependent properties as expected in carbon-based quantum dots. However, the emission wavelength is independent of the size of the GQDs. The unique optical properties of the GQDs are attributed to the self-passivated layer on the surface of the GQDs as revealed by electron energy loss spectroscopy. The photoluminescence quantum yield of the GQDs was determined to be 7 - 11%. The GQDs are capable of converting blue light into white light when the GQDs are coated onto a blue light emitting diode.
