In a specific embodiment, the preparation method of described graphene oxide quantum dot also comprises:
Step S30: removal impurity is carried out to described first graphene oxide quantum dot solution.
Step S40: carry out drying, to obtain graphene oxide quantum dot powder.
Concrete, the preparation method of described graphene oxide quantum dot provided by the invention can be:
First, perform step S10: mixed with the vitriol oil by citric acid, form the mixing solutions of citric acid and the vitriol oil.
Citric acid is a kind of organic monoacid, is colourless crystallization or White crystal powder.Chemically in structure, citric acid is a kind of tricarboxylic acid compounds, is also called 2-hydroxy propane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid, and molecular formula is C

In this step, citric acid is mixed with the vitriol oil.The mode of described mixing can be leave standstill, vibrate, stir or ultrasonic disperse, to make full and uniform the mixing of citric acid and the vitriol oil.
Described standing mode, for citric acid is put into container, puts into the vitriol oil subsequently, leaves standstill 8h ~ 20h, citric acid is fully dissolved in the vitriol oil.
The mode of described vibration, for citric acid is put into container, puts into the vitriol oil subsequently, and then vibrate container, and citric acid is fully dissolved in the vitriol oil.
The mode of described stirring for citric acid is put into container, can put into the vitriol oil subsequently, then stirs with magnetic stirring apparatus, and the stirring velocity of described magnetic agitation is 200r/min ~ 1500r/min, and churning time is 0.1h ~ 6h.
The power of described ultrasonic disperse is 100W ~ 500W, and frequency is 10kHz ~ 100kHz, and the time is 0.1h ~ 6h.
After described citric acid mixes with the vitriol oil, the concentration of described citric acid is 0.1mg/mL ~ 100mg/mL, if be less than the waste that this scope can cause the vitriol oil, concentration is greater than this scope and the reaction in subsequent technique can be caused to carry out not exclusively, can not get graphene oxide quantum dot.
Next, step S20 is performed: make the mixing solutions of described citric acid and the vitriol oil react at ambient pressure, form the first graphene oxide quantum dot solution.
In actually operating, this step is almost carried out with step citric acid and the vitriol oil mixed in previous step simultaneously.Concrete, in by citric acid and vitriol oil mixing, set temperature is 25 DEG C ~ 100 DEG C, and the reaction times is 1 hour ~ 10 hours.Wherein, in actually operating, the time mix citric acid and the vitriol oil and the time of both interreactions are coherent, and because mixing is the process of dissolving, the time is shorter, and the reaction times is longer.
