The invention discloses a method for preparing
graphene quantum dots, which belongs to the technical field of nano-material preparation. The method for preparing
grapheme quantum dots comprises the following steps: firstly, utilizing
graphite oxide to prepare
graphene slices, and dissolving 50mg of
graphene slices, 0-30mL of concentrated
sulfuric acid, 10-40mL of concentrated
nitric acid and the balance of de-ionized water for supplementing to 40mL into a dispersing
system with 40mL; filtrating the abovementioned dispersing
system, dispersing the
solid into the de-ionized water again, adjusting the pH value to 8 with a
sodium hydroxide solution,
processing for 3 min in a
microwave reaction kettle, naturally cooling, filtering with a filter membrane, collecting filtrate and dialyzing the filtrate in a
dialysis bag for three days; and
drying the dialyzed products to obtain the graphene
quantum dots. The method provided by the invention is convenient in synthetic process and high in efficiency, and the obtained graphene quantum dots are high in purity, small in particle size, and strong in fluorescent property, and has monodispersity and water
solubility, so that the graphene quantum dots are good in application prospect in the aspects of bioluminescent marks and solar cells.
