The invention relates to a qunatum carbon which comprises carbon particles with the particle size of 0.6-100nm, wherein the carbon particles are mono carbon and/or graphene particles; and the surface layer of the carbon particles contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen compounds, which comprise condensed aromatics, compounds containing carbon-oxygen single bond, compounds containing carbon-oxygen double bond and compounds containing carbon-hydrogen bond. The invention also relates to a qunatum carbon solution which is a water solution containing qunatum carbon. The ORP of the qunatum carbon solution is 280-380mv, the electric conductivity sigma is 1-5ms/cm, the electromotive force is 280-380mv, the pH value is 1.5-3.2, and the concentration is 0.1-0.45%. The invention also relates to a device and method for preparing the qunatum carbon. The method has the advantages of simple technique, low cost, no generation of three wastes, uniform carbon particle size and stable product quality, is easy to control, and can easily implement large-scale production.
