The present investigation deals with a comparative assessment of various techniques for the synthesis of blue luminescence Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) using various equipments like furnace, domestic microwave synthesiser and scientific microwave synthesiser using citric acid as a precursor. A bottom–up method was adapted to develop photoluminescent (PL) GQDs and assessed for luminescence intensity of GQDs at different environmental conditions. The methodology requires very less concentration of NaOH to disperse GQDs. The present approach is advantageous over other conventional organic solvent mediated synthesis, as it requires less time, easy to reproduce and disperse in water, furthermore it produces stable fluorescence for a longer period of time at ambient temperature conditions. The synthesized GQDs are primarily characterized by UV for detection of the fluorescence intensity and simultaneously Ultraviolet–Visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) Spectroscopy to assess the up conversion from the precursor molecule. Apart from these techniques, Particle Size and Zeta Potential, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Elemental Analysis (EDX), Raman Spectroscopy and Fluorescence spectrophotometry were used to characterise synthesized GQDs.
