A novel synthesis of graphene quantum dots via thermal treatment of crude graphite oxide in a dry and alkaline condition, and their application in uranyl detection

In this article, a novel method to synthesize graphene quantum dots was developed via thermal treatment of crude graphite oxide (GO) in a dry and alkaline condition to cut the crude GO sheets into small graphene quantum dots (named as aGQDs). The aGQDs are nano-scale reduced graphene oxide pieces wi...
