High-photoluminescence (PL) graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were synthesized by a simple one-pot hydrothermal process, then separated by dialysis bags of different molecular weights. Four separated GQDs of varying sizes were obtained and displayed different PL intensities. With the decreasing size of separated GQDs, the intensity of the emission peak becomes much stronger. Finally, the GQDs of the smallest size revealed the most energetic PL intensity in four separated GQDs. The PL energy of all the separated GQDs shifted slightly, supported by density functional theory calculations.

The effects of five types of oxygen-containing functional groups (–COOH, –COC–, –OH, –CHO, and –OCH3) on graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are investigated using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT).

In this work, we apply density functional theory to study the effect of neutral ionic clusters adsorbed on the GQD surface. We conclude that both the HOMO and the LUMO of GQDs are very sensitive to the presence of ions and to their distance from the GQD surface. However, the alteration of the band gap itself is modest, as opposed to the case of free ions (recent reports). Our work fosters progress in modulating electronic properties of nanoscale carbonaceous materials.

Density functional theory calculations revealed that CoO possessed poor HER activity but favorable NRR activity. CoO quantum dots (2–5 nm) supported on graphene exhibited a high NH3 yield of 21.5 μg h−1 mg−1 and a faradaic efficiency of 8.3% at −0.6 V vs. RHE under ambient conditions, superior to most of the reported NRR catalysts.
