Highly Effi cient Light-Emitting Diode of Graphene Quantum Dots Fabricated from Graphite Intercalation Compounds
With strong optical absorptivity and a widely tunable bandgap,graphene is an attractive material for optical and optoelectronic devices. [ 1,2 ] Recently, emerging graphene quantum dots (GQDs), single- or few-layer graphene only several nanometers in size, have been implemented in bandgap engineering due to quantum confi nement [ 3,4 ] and edge effects, [ 5 ] which potentially can be exploited in new potential applications of graphene.Specifi cally, fl uorescent GQDs with tunable emission are considered to be next-generation nanomaterials as a potentially inexpensive and safe alternative to semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). [ 6,7 ] Moreover, the chemical inertness and excellent
biocompatibility of GQDs make them attractive for use in bio-sensor, bio-imaging, and photovoltaic applications. [ 8–13 ] However, currently available GQDs have several drawbacks, including i) limited synthesis methods that provide desired
optical properties (i.e., quantum yields); ii) the lack of a mass production method to create GQDs with uniform sizes and shapes without signifi cant loss of their optical properties; iii) diffi culty controlling the emission wavelength of the photoluminescence (PL); and iv) debate over the PL mechanism and contraints on the diversity of applications.
