| Abstract | Blue fluorescent graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are synthesized from small haloaromatic molecules by laser photochemistry. The process involves a bottom-up photochemical stitching mechanism of the free radicals generated by irradiation of ultraviolet photons (lambda = 248 nm) on o-dichlorobenzene. The GQDs are further demonstrated to be of importance as fluorescent nanoprobes in bioimaging of cells.image |
