It is difficult to integrate two-dimensional (2D) graphene and hexagonal boron-nitride (h-BN) in optoelectronic nanodevices, due to the semi-metal and insulator characteristic of graphene and h-BN, respectively. Using the state-of-the-art first-principles calculations based on many-body perturbation theory, we investigate the electronic and optical properties of h-BN nanosheet embedded with graphene dots. We find that C atom impurities doped in h-BN nanosheet tend to phase-separate into graphene quantum dots (QD), and BNC hybrid structure, i.e. a graphene dot within a h-BN background, can be formed. The band gaps of BNC hybrid structures have an inverse relationship with the size of graphene dot. The calculated optical band gaps for BNC structures vary from 4.71 eV to 3.77 eV, which are much smaller than that of h-BN nanosheet. Furthermore, the valence band maximum is located in C atoms bonded to B atoms and conduction band minimum is located in C atoms bonded to N atoms, which means the electron and hole wave functions are closely distributed around the graphene dot. The bound excitons, localized around the graphene dot, determine the optical spectra of the BNC hybrid structures, in which the exciton binding energies decrease with increase in the size of graphene dots. Our results provide an important theoretical basis for the design and development of BNC-based optoelectronic nanodevices.

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are considerably a new member of the carbon family and shine amongst other members, thanks to their superior electrochemical, optical, and structural properties as well as biocompatibility features that enable us to engage them in various bioengineering purposes. Especially, the quantum confinement and edge effects are giving GQDs their tremendous character, while their heteroatom doping attributes enable us to specifically and meritoriously tune their prospective characteristics for innumerable operations. Considering the substantial role offered by GQDs in the area of biomedicine and nanoscience, through this review paper, we primarily focus on their applications in bio-imaging, micro-supercapacitors, as well as in therapy development. The size-dependent aspects, functionalization, and particular utilization of the GQDs are discussed in detail with respect to their distinct nano-bio-technological applications.

We report the synthesize of Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) using ablation method with reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) solution as a starting material. We have varied the concentration of rGO as following: 0.5, 2, 5 mg/ml and then have ablated them using 800 nm Ti-Sapphire femtosecond laser to obtain GQDs. From the UV-Vis data, we observed that the more concentration of rGO is being ablated, the more secondary absorption peak at 255.1 nm appeared. This secondary absorption peak is a characteristic of n-π* bonding due to the presence of oxygen defect which occurs as a result of the interaction between the laser and the water in rGO solution. We conclude that the population of oxigen defect in GQDs is increasing, following the increase of rGO concentration and could alter the optical properties of GQD. On the other hand, using Tauc’s plot, we confirm that the increase of rGO concentration as the ablated material does not alter GQDs optical band gap. However, it will slightly reduce both, direct and indirect Oxygen defect related optical band gap.
