This paper will study a review on graphene and graphene quantum dots, and their application. The produce of graphene has generated enormous interest among researcher in various subjects. Sharp focus of graphene research addresses graphene's carrier physics and their interactions with light and having super high carrier mobility and a linear scattering band structure, graphene has been forecasted and confirmed mark great candidate for optoelectronics applications. The synthesis of graphene quantum structures, such as graphene quantum dots, has become popular topic in the past years, making the use of graphene more versatile.
