The emergence and global spread of multi antibiotic-resistant bacteria underscored the need to find new alternative antimicrobial candidates. Graphene quantum dots have received tremendous attention as promising new microbicidal agents owing to their ease of production, excellent physicochemical properties and high biosafety. In this chapter, the synthesis and physicochemical characteristics of graphene quantum dots are reviewed. A recent research progress on their antibacterial activities and the reaction mechanisms are also discussed. Lastly, an outlook on future development of effective graphene quantum dots was suggested with the goal of addressing current limitation and motivating further research on this promising area.
