One-step ultrasonic synthesis of graphene quantum dots with high quantum yield and their application in sensing alkaline phosphatase.

With only graphene oxide and KMnO4, the luminescent graphene quantum dots (GQDs) in high quantum yield were prepared by one-step synthesis using ultrasonication, and applied in the label-free, simple and fast fluorescence assay of alkaline phosphatase (ALP).
