Photoluminescent graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have received tremendous attention due to their sui generis chemical, electronic and optical properties but fabricating the pristine quality of GQD is extremely challenging. Herein, we have reported the pyrolysis of citric acid which in the presence of different bases viz. triethylamine, ammonium hydroxide and urea, produced N-doped GQDs at different pH. The effect of different pH has been studied in detail to optimize the formation conditions of the GQD. Ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy and normalized fluorescence spectra were applied to analyze the optical properties of the GQD. The mean particle size was analyzed by a particle size analyzer (dynamic light dispersion).

AbstractFor the first time, a facile, ultrafast, ammonia-driven microwave-assisted synthesis of high-quality nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (NGQDs) at room temperature and atmospheric pressure is presented. This one-step method is very cheap, environment friendly, and suitable for large-scale production. The as-synthesized NGQDs consisting of one to three graphene monolayers exhibit highly crystalline quality with an average size of 5.3 nm. A new fluorescence (FL) emission peak at 390 nm is observed, which might be attributed to the doped nitrogen atoms into the GQDs. An interesting red-shift is observed by comparing the FL excitation spectra to the UV-visible absorption spectra. Based on the optical properties, the detailed Jablonski diagram representing the energy level structure of NGQDs is derived.
