In this paper, we present a facile approach to reduce, exfoliate, and tear graphene oxide (GO) sheets, which can be used to produce graphene quantum dots. The prepared GO sheets were easily exfoliated and teared under UV and microwave (MW) irradiation in the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs). Res...
