Synthesis of graphene oxide quantum dots (GO-dots) often requires strong concentrated acid, and takes a long time. Herein, we used black carbon as a precursor and H 2 O 2 as a facile oxidant and developed a simple and facile one-pot hydrothermal method for synthesis of GO-dots without the need to us...
