Electrochemical determination of acetaminophen using a glassy carbon electrode modified with a hybrid material consisting of graphene aerogel and octadecylamine-functionalized carbon quantum dots

The study reports on the synthesis of a graphene aerogel@octadecylamine-functionalized carbon quantum dots (GA@O-CQDs). The graphene oxide aqueous dispersion, O-CQDs aqueous dispersion and toluene were strongly mixed to make a toluene-in-water Pickering emulsion. The graphene oxide sheets in the aqueous phase are reduced by hydrazine hydrate, diffuse into the toluene droplets, and self-assemble into graphene oxide microgels. This is followed by...
