Question: what is the difference between carbon quantum dots and graphene quantum dots?
Answer: Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) are also one kind of Carbon Dots. The major difference is the precursors for synthesis of these materials are different. In case of GQDs, the precursor are Graphene based materials. ... On the hand, Carbon dots (C-dots) are spherical carbon particles with a size less than 10 nm.
