The role of different N-functionalities was investigated on the drug delivery performance of N-GQDs. Results suggested that the center N-GQD had a better performance than the pristine and edge N-GQDs.

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.
