          Abstract

          g-C3N4 quantum dots were synthesized and can be used as general energy-transfer components in photocatalytic systems to harness the Vis-NIR spectrum of sunlight.

            Chaotic Dirac billiard in graphene quantum dots

            We report on transport characteristics of quantum dot devices etched entirely in graphene. At large sizes, they behave as conventional single-electron transistors, exhibiting periodic Coulomb blockade peaks. For quantum dots smaller than 100 nm, the peaks become strongly non-periodic indicating a major contribution of quantum confinement. Random peak spacing and its statistics are well described by the theory of chaotic neutrino (Dirac) billiards. Short constrictions of only a few nm in width remain conductive and reveal a confinement gap of up to 0.5eV, which demonstrates the in-principle possibility of molecular-scale electronics based on graphene.

              Upconversion and downconversion fluorescent graphene quantum dots: ultrasonic preparation and photocatalysis.

              A facile ultrasonic route for the fabrication of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with upconverted emission is presented. The as-prepared GQDs exhibit an excitation-independent downconversion and upconversion photoluminescent (PL) behavior, and the complex photocatalysts (rutile TiO(2)/GQD and anatase TiO(2)/GQD systems) were designed to harness the visible spectrum of sunlight. It is interesting that the photocatalytic rate of the rutile TiO(2)/GQD complex system is ca. 9 times larger than that of the anatase TiO(2)/GQD complex under visible light (λ > 420 nm) irradiation in the degradation of methylene blue.
