In this work, graphene quantum dot (GQD), a nanoscale fluorescent material, was successfully obtained through a ‘top-down’ method, using carbon black as a source. The as-prepared GQDs were applied as a drug carrier to target Doxorubicin (DOX) to tumor cells. It was found that in PBS solution, the lo...
