Reduced graphene oxide quantum dots (rGOQDTs) play a vital role in a variety of biological, optoelectronics, and environmental applications. The quality of 0D nanodots is compromised when they are cut from big 2D nanosheets. As a result, it is necessary to maintain a balance between quality and yield. Here, we developed a two-step hydrothermal process for producing nanocrystalline rGOQDTs by employing graphene oxide (GO) as an initial precursor. UV-Visible spectroscopy was used to explore the optical properties of rGOQDTs. XRD, Raman, and FTIR spectroscopic experiments were performed to better understand the crystalline and chemical properties and composition of rGOQDTs. The nanocrystalline rGOQDTs have an average crystallite size of 1.67[Formula: see text]nm. Using GO as an initial precursor implies a simple two-step approach for producing nanocrystalline rGOQDTs in a low-cost, highly efficient, and scalable manner.

Herein, bare chromia nanoparticles (Cr2O3 NPs) and chromia supported on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and graphene oxide (GO) hybrids were synthesized, followed by characterization by means of FESEM, Raman spectroscopy, TGA, XRD, TEM/HRTEM, XPS and N2 sorptiometry. The investigated bare Cr2O3 and the hybrids (Cr2O3/rGO and Cr2O3/GO) were employed as catalysts for low-temperature CO oxidation. Compared with the other catalysts, the results revealed efficient catalytic activity using Cr2O3/GO, which was attributed to its higher surface area together with the mixed oxidation state of chromium (Cr3+ and Cr>3+). These are important oxidation sites that facilitate the electron mobility essential for CO oxidation. Moreover, the presence of carbon vacancy defects and functional groups facilitate the stabilizing of Cr2O3 NPs on its surface, forming a thermally stable hybrid material, which assists the CO oxidation process. The Cr2O3/GO hybrid is a promising low-cost and efficient catalyst for CO oxidation at low temperatures. The higher activity of graphene oxide supported Cr2O3 NPs can provide an efficient and cost-effective solution to a prominent environmental problem.
