Abstract

The Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) represent new class of quantum dots with unique properties. These quantum dots mainly possess graphene lattice inside the dots smaller than the 100 nanometers in size and less than 10 layers in thickness. GQDs which are defined as the zero dimensional carbon nanostructure comprising single or few layer graphene with small size distribution mainly in range of 3 to 20 nanometre have attracted significant interest, because of their ultra small and uniform sizes, unique photoluminescence properties and low toxicity. These advantages make GQDs very promising for various applications such as Bioimaging, Biosensing, Drugs/Genes delivery. This review deals with the synthesis method and applications if GQDs in electronics and photonics.
