Graphene is zero band gap material. And it can be tuned by many ways such as fictionalization, doping, applying electric field or magnetic field, applying strain,etc.
Graphene quantum dots are semiconducting materials, ie they have band, that is why we observe pl with them.

Intrinsic Graphene is a zero band gap semiconductor. However doping, graphene nanocomposites, charge transfer to graphene can lead to non zero band gap thus introducing desirable properties in graphene.
It has finite bandgap. Depends upon the extent of oxidation, different reports are there, reporting different bandgaps, mainly absorption in the range of 200-280 nm.

Nevertheless doping and recently laser irradiation could be used in tunning the energy gap of materials.
