The Global Market for Graphene Quantum Dots

Published December 2020, 47 pages, 15 tables, 18 figures

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) represent relatively new members of the carbon nanomaterials family. Studies have demonstrated that quantum confinement could appear in graphene with finite size and edge effects-graphene quantum dots (GQDs). GQDs display properties derived from both graphene and quantum dots (QDs), combining the structure of graphene with the edge effects, non-zero band gap, and quantum confinement effects of QDs. They possess unique optical and electrical properties such as:

  • high quantum yield
  • high electrical conductivity
  • high thermal conductivity
  • excellent photostability
  • biocompatibility
  • superior stability compared to non-carbon QDs.
  • highly tunable photoluminescence (PL)
  • electrochemiluminescence
  • exceptional multi-photon excitation (up-conversion) property
  • ease of functionalization
  • low-toxicity.

 

As a result, they are being widely investigated for applications in optoelectronics, photonics, biomedicine, energy storage and conversion, anti-counterfeiting and sensors.
