Incorporation of new functional components into a three-dimensional graphene (3DG) framework improves the performance of supercapacitors based on 3DG as electrodes by tailoring the framework’s structure and properties. In this work, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were incorporated into 3DG via one-step hydrothermal treatment of GQDs and graphene oxide (GO). By simply adjusting the GQDs/GO feeding ratio by weight, various GQDs/3DG composites were formed. The maximum feeding ratio was 80%, and the prepared composites possessed saturated GQDs loading on the 3DG framework, whereas composites obtained with a GQDs/GO feeding ratio of 40% as electrodes exhibited optimal specific capacitance of 242 F·g−1 for supercapacitors, an increase of 22% compared with that of pure 3DG electrodes (198 F·g−1). This improved performance was mainly due to better electrical conductivity and larger surface area for GQDs/3DG composites with moderate GQDs content. The fabricated GQDs/3DG composites as electrodes for supercapacitors revealed high electrochemical stability. Their capacitance kept 93% of the initial value after 10,000 charge-discharge cycles.

2,2’-(Ethylenedioxy)bis(ethylamine)-functionalized graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were prepared under mild conditions from graphene oxide (GO) via oxidative fragmentation. The as-prepared GQDs have an average diameter of ca. 4 nm, possess good colloidal stability, and emit strong green-yellow light with a photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield of 22% upon excitation at 375 nm. We also demonstrated that the GQDs exhibit high photostability and the PL intensity is poorly affected while tuning the pH from 1 to 8. Finally, GQDs can be used to chelate Fe(II) and Cu(II) cations, scavenge radicals, and reduce Fe(III) into Fe(II). These chelating and reducing properties that associate to the low cytotoxicity of GQDs show that these nanoparticles are of high interest as antioxidants for health applications.

Simple and efficient synthesis of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with anodic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) remains a great challenge. Herein, we present an anodic ECL-sensing platform based on nitrogen-doped GQDs (N-GQDs), which enables sensitive detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and glucose. N-GQDs are easily prepared using one-step molecular fusion between carbon precursor and a dopant in an alkaline hydrothermal process. The synthesis is simple, green, and has high production yield. The as-prepared N-GQDs exhibit a single graphene-layered structure, uniform size, and good crystalline. In the presence of H2O2, N-GQDs possess high anodic ECL activity owing to the functional hydrazide groups. With N-GQDs being ECL probes, sensitive detection of H2O2 in the range of 0.3–100.0 μM with a limit of detection or LOD of 63 nM is achieved. As the oxidation of glucose catalyzed by glucose oxidase (GOx) produces H2O2, sensitive detection of glucose is also realized in the range of 0.7–90.0 μM (LOD of 96 nM).
