Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are nanoscale structures derived from graphene, a two-dimensional single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. GQDs are characterized by their size, which typically ranges from a few nanometers to tens of nanometers in diameter, and they exhibit unique optical and electronic properties due to their reduced dimensions and quantum confinement effects.
