• Methods to produce GQD using the top-down approach;
(i) a conventional chemical oxidation process and
(ii) an acid-free process
• Can be apply according to their electrical and optical properties
• For energy storage devices (e.g: supercapacitors) and biosensors (e.g:
GQD conjugated enzymes)
• Carbon based QD which are non-toxic (unlike thier metal counterparts)
• Lower cost will ensure economic vialbility of these applications
• Energy storage developers
• Optical sensor developers
