Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) that are flat 0D nanomaterials have attracted increasing interest because of their exceptional chemicophysical properties and novel applications in energy conversion and storage, electro/photo/chemical catalysis, flexible devices, sensing, display, imaging, and theranostics. The significant advances in the recent years are summarized with comparative and balanced discussion. The differences between GQDs and other nanomaterials, including their nanocarbon cousins, are emphasized, and the unique advantages of GQDs for specific applications are highlighted. The current challenges and outlook of this growing field are also discussed.
石墨烯量子点（GQDs）作为扁平的零维纳米材料，因其优异的化学物理性质以及在能量转换与存储、电/光/化学催化、柔性器件、传感、显示、成像和治疗诊断学等方面的新颖应用而受到越来越多的关注。本文对近年来的重大进展进行了比较全面且平衡的讨论与总结。强调了GQDs与其他纳米材料（包括其纳米碳同类物）之间的差异，并突出了GQDs在特定应用中的独特优势。同时也讨论了这个不断发展的领域当前面临的挑战和前景。
