▎ 摘 要
Recently, the biomass "bottom-up" approach for the synthesis of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) has attracted broad interest because of the outstanding features, including low-cost, rapid, and environmentally friendly nature. However, the low crystalline quality of products, substitutional doping with heteroatoms in lattice, and ambiguous reaction mechanism strongly challenge the further development of this technique. Herein, we proposed a facile and effective strategy to prepare controllable sulfur (S) doping in GQDs, occurring in a lattice substitution manner, by hydrothermal treatment of durian with platinum catalyst. S atoms in GQDs are demonstrated to exist in the thiophene structure, resulting in good optical and chemical stabilities, as well as ultrahigh quantum yield. Detailed mechanism of the hydrothermal reaction progress was investigated. High-efficiency reforming cyclization provided by platinum was evidenced by the coexistence of diversified sp(2)-fused heterocyclic compounds and thiophene derivatives. Moreover, we also demonstrated that saccharides in durian with small molecular weight (<1000 Da) is the main carbon source for the forming GQDs. Because of the desulfurizing process, controllable photoluminescence properties could be achieved in the as-prepared GQDs via tuning doping concentrations.
