Title: | Potassium doping : tuning the optical properties of graphene quantum dots | Authors: | Qian, F Li, X Tang, L Lai, SK Lu, C Lau, SP |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Source: | AIP advances, 2016, v. 6, no. 7, 75116, p. 075116-1-075116-8 | Abstract: | Doping with hetero-atoms is an effective way to tune the properties of graphene quantum dots (GQDs). Here, potassium-doped GQDs (K-GQDs) are synthesized by a one-pot hydrothermal treatment of sucrose and potassium hydroxide solution. Optical properties of the GQDs are altered as a result of K-doping. The absorption peaks exhibit a blue shift. Multiple photoluminescence (PL) peaks are observed as the excitation wavelength is varied from 380 nm to 620 nm. New energy levels are introduced into the K-GQDs and provide alternative electron transition pathways. The maximum PL intensity of the K-GQDs is obtained at an excitation wavelength of 480 nm which is distinct from the undoped GQDs (375 nm). The strong PL of the K-GQDs at the longer emission wavelengths is expected to make K-GQDs more suitable for bioimaging and optoelectronic applications. | Publisher: | American Institute of Physics | Journal: | AIP advances | ISSN: | 2158-3226 (online) | DOI: | 10.1063/1.4959906 | Rights: | © 2016 Author(s).All article content, except where otherwise noted, is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
