An Electrochemical Avenue to Green‐Luminescent Graphene Quantum Dots as Potential Electron‐Acceptors for Photovoltaics

Green-luminescent functional graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are prepared by a facile electrochemical approach. The GQDs are rich in oxygen-containing functional groups and soluble in aqueous or organic media, facilitating further functionalization and various applications. Polymer photovoltaic devices using GQDs as a new type of electron-acceptor material are also demonstrated.
