Abstract
Advances in polyoxometalate (POM) self-assembly chemistry are always accompanied by new developments in molecular blocks. The exploration and discovery of uncommon building blocks offer great possibilities for generating unprecedented POM clusters. An intriguing SbIII-WVI-cotemplated antimonotungstate [H2N(CH3)2]11Na[SbW9O33]Er2(H2O)2Sb2[SbWVIW15O57]·22H2O (1) was synthesized, which comprises a classical trivacant Keggin [SbW9O33]9- ({SbW9}) fragment and an unclassical lacunary Dawson-like [SbWVIW15O57]15- ({SbWVIW15}) subunit. Notably, the Dawson-like {SbWVIW15} subunit is the first example of a [SbO3]3- and [WVIO6]6- mixed-heteroatom-directing POM segment. Hexacoordinated [WVIO6]6- can not only serve as the heteroatom function but its additional oxygen sites can also link to lanthanide, main-group metal, and transition-metal centers to form the innovative structure. {SbWVIW15} and {SbW9} subunits are joined by the heterometallic [Er2(H2O)2Sb2O17]22- cluster to give rise to an asymmetric sandwich-type architecture. To further realize its potential application in electrochemical sensing, a conductive 1@rGO composite was obtained by the electrochemical deposition of 1 with graphene oxide (GO). Using a 1@rGO-modified glassy carbon electrode as the working electrode, an electrochemical biosensor for detecting the antidepressant drug paroxetine (PRX) was successfully constructed. This work can provide a viable strategy for synthesizing mixed-heteroatom-directing POMs and demonstrates the application of POM-based materials for the electrochemical detection of drug molecules.

Pretreatment and analysis techniques development of TKIs in biological samples for pharmacokinetic studies and therapeutic drug monitoring. J Pharm Anal 2024; 14:100899. [PMID: 38634061 PMCID: PMC11022103 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpha.2023.11.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2023] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have emerged as the first-line small molecule drugs in many cancer therapies, exerting their effects by impeding aberrant cell growth and proliferation through the modulation of tyrosine kinase-mediated signaling pathways. However, there exists a substantial inter-individual variability in the concentrations of certain TKIs and their metabolites, which may render patients with compromised immune function susceptible to diverse infections despite receiving theoretically efficacious anticancer treatments, alongside other potential side effects or adverse reactions. Therefore, an urgent need exists for an up-to-date review concerning the biological matrices relevant to bioanalysis and the sampling methods, clinical pharmacokinetics, and therapeutic drug monitoring of different TKIs. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements in pretreatment methods, such as protein precipitation (PPT), liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), solid-phase extraction (SPE), micro-SPE (μ-SPE), magnetic SPE (MSPE), and vortex-assisted dispersive SPE (VA-DSPE) achieved since 2017. It also highlights the latest analysis techniques such as newly developed high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) methods, capillary electrophoresis (CE), gas chromatography (GC), supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) procedures, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assays as well as novel nanoprobes-based biosensing techniques. In addition, a comparison is made between the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches while presenting critical challenges and prospects in pharmacokinetic studies and therapeutic drug monitoring.

Abstract
Detailed attention to the interaction between graphene oxide (GO) and various organic fluorophores has been documented in literature as a result of which the impact of GO on the photophysical properties of the fluorophores is well known to the scientific community. However, the photoluminescence (PL) properties of GO in polar aprotic solvents are yet to be established. In this article, the PL properties of GO in polar aprotic solvents using various spectroscopic techniques have been reported. n-π* transition due to the C=O bonds in the sp3 hybrid regions and π-π* transition due to C=C bonds in the sp2 hybrid are prominent in GO. The presence of quasi-molecules within sp2 -sp3 domains acts as PL centers located in the sp3 matrixes of GO are responsible for the PL properties. This study showcases the presence of multiple emissive states of GO in polar aprotic solvents and conveys the fact that the PL properties of GO are very much wavelength-dependent.

Abstract
The growing demand for more efficient materials for medical applications brought together two previously distinct fields: medicine and engineering. Regenerative medicine has evolved with the engineering contributions to improve materials and devices for medical use. In this regard, graphene is one of the most promising materials for bone tissue engineering and its potential for bone repair has been studied by several research groups. The aim of this study is to conduct a scoping review including articles published in the last 12 years (from 2010 to 2022) that have used graphene and its derivatives (graphene oxide and reduced graphene) in preclinical studies for bone tissue regeneration, searching in PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Central, and clinicaltrials.gov (to confirm no study has started with clinical trial). Boolean searches were performed using the defined key words "bone" and "graphene", and manuscript abstracts were uploaded to Rayyan, a web-tool for systematic and scoping reviews. This scoping review was conducted based on Joanna Briggs Institute Manual for Scoping Reviews and the report follows the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses - Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) statement. After the search protocol and application of the inclusion criteria, 77 studies were selected and evaluated by five blinded researchers. Most of the selected studies used composite materials associated with graphene and its derivatives to natural and synthetic polymers, bioglass, and others. Although a variety of graphene materials were analyzed in these studies, they all concluded that graphene, its derivatives, and its composites improve bone repair processes by increasing osteoconductivity, osteoinductivity, new bone formation, and angiogenesis. Thus, this systematic review opens up new opportunities for the development of novel strategies for bone tissue engineering with graphene.

Abstract
Graphene oxide has been widely deployed in electrical sensors for monitoring physical, chemical, and biological processes. The presence of abundant oxygen functional groups makes it an ideal substrate for integrating biological functional units to assemblies. However, the introduction of this type of defects on the surface of graphene has a deleterious effect on its electrical properties. Therefore, adjusting the surface chemistry of graphene oxide is of utmost relevance for addressing the immobilization of biomolecules, while preserving its electrochemical integrity. Herein, we describe the direct immobilization of glucose oxidase onto graphene oxide-based electrodes prepared by Langmuir-Blodgett assembly. Electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide allowed to control its surface chemistry and, by this, regulate the nature and density of binding sites for the enzyme and the overall responsiveness of the Langmuir-Blodgett biofilm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance, and electrochemical measurements were used to characterize the compositional and functional features of these biointerfaces. Covalent binding between amine groups on glucose oxidase and epoxy and carbonyl groups on the surface of graphene oxide was successfully used to build up stable and active enzymatic assemblies. This approach constitutes a simple, quick, and efficient route to locally address functional proteins at interfaces without the need for additives or complex modifiers to direct the adsorption process.

Abstract
We report a method for fast, efficient, and scalable preparation of high-quality, large area, few-layer graphene films on arbitrary substrates via high-intensity pulsed xenon flash lamp photothermal pyrolysis of thin precursor films at ambient conditions in millisecond time frames. The precursors comprised poly(2,2-bis(3,4-dihydro-3-phenyl-1,3-benzoxazine)), and cyclized polyacrylonitrile and possess significant absorption cross section within the bandwidth of the emission spectrum of a xenon flash lamp. By localizing light absorption to the precursor films, the process enabled the preparation of few-layer graphene films on any substrate, including thermally sensitive substrates without the need for any catalytic substrate as in chemical vapor deposition-based approaches or conductive electrodes as in electrochemical method-based approaches. The extent of conversion of the precursor films to graphene was strongly dependent on pulse energy and the local temperature achieved due to photothermal effect, which were controlled via pulse power modulation; it also depended on structural properties of the precursor and to a lesser extent on the substrate. The cPAN showed a higher efficiency for conversion to graphene, as confirmed by Raman spectra (ID/IG ∼ 0.3), and sheet resistance of 0.1 Ω cm. To demonstrate the utility of the process, graphene film electrodes prepared photothermally on carbon fiber current collector were used for the fabrication of micro-supercapacitors with a very high areal supercapacitance of 3.5 mF/cm2. Subsequent deposition of manganese oxide onto the fabricated electrodes significantly increased the energy storage capability of the supercapacitor, yielding a device with exceptionally high capacitance of 80 F/g at 1 mA current, good rate capability, and long cycle life.

Abstract
Since its discovery in 2004, graphene is increasingly applied in various fields owing to its unique properties. Graphene application in the biomedical domain is promising and intriguing as an emerging 2D material with a high surface area, good mechanical properties, and unrivalled electronic and physical properties. This review summarizes six typical synthesis methods to fabricate pristine graphene (p-G), graphene oxide (GO), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), followed by characterization techniques to examine the obtained graphene materials. As bare graphene is generally undesirable in vivo and in vitro, functionalization methods to reduce toxicity, increase biocompatibility, and provide more functionalities are demonstrated. Subsequently, in vivo and in vitro behaviors of various bare and functionalized graphene materials are discussed to evaluate the functionalization effects. Reasonable control of dose (<20 mg kg-1 ), sizes (50-1000 nm), and functionalization methods for in vivo application are advantageous. Then, the key biomedical applications based on graphene materials are discussed, coupled with the current challenges and outlooks of this growing field. In a broader sense, this review provides a comprehensive discussion on the synthesis, characterization, functionalization, evaluation, and application of p-G, GO, and rGO in the biomedical field, highlighting their recent advances and potential.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO), owing to its atomic thickness and tunable physicochemical properties, exhibits fascinating properties in membrane separation fields, especially in water treatment applications (due to unimpeded permeation of water through graphene-based membranes). Particularly, GO-based membranes used for desalination via pervaporation or nanofiltration have been widely investigated with respect to membrane design and preparation. However, the precise construction of transport pathways, facile fabrication of large-area GO-based membranes (GOMs), and robust stability in desalination applications are the main challenges restricting the industrial application of GOMs. This review summarizes the challenges and recent research and development of GOMs with respect to preparation methods, the regulation of GOM mass transfer pathways, desalination performance, and mass transport mechanisms. The review aims to provide an overview of the precise regulation methods of the horizontal and longitudinal mass transfer channels of GOMs, including GO reduction, interlayer cross-linking, intercalation with cations, polymers, or inorganic particles, etc., to clarify the relationship between the microstructure and desalination performance, which may provide some new insight regarding the structural design of high-performance GOMs. Based on the above analysis, the future and development of GOMs are proposed.

Abstract
D-penicillamine (PA) is a sulfur group-containing drug prescribed for various health issues, but overdoses have adverse effects. Therefore, regular, selective, and sensitive sensing is essential to reduce the need for further treatment. In this study, diphenylamine (DPA) was electropolymerized in an aqueous acidic medium. The PA detection sensitivity, selectivity, and limit of detection were enhanced by electropolymerizing DPA on an electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERGO)/glassy carbon (GC) surface. The formation of p-DPA and ERGO was investigated using various techniques. The as-prepared p-DPA@ERGO/GC revealed the excellent redox-active (N-C to N=C) sites of p-DPA. The p-DPA@ERGO/GC electrode exhibited excellent electrochemical sensing ability towards PA determination because of the presence of the -NH-functional moiety and effective interactions with the -SH group of PA. The p-DPA@ERGO/GC exhibited a high surface coverage of 9.23 × 10-12 mol cm-2. The polymer-modified p-DPA@ERGO/GC electrode revealed the amperometric determination of PA concentration from the 1.4 to 541 μM wide range and the detection limit of 0.10 μM. The real-time feasibility of the developed p-DPA@ERGO/GC electrode was tested with a realistic PA finding in human blood serum samples and yielded a good recovery of 97.5-101.0%, confirming the potential suitability in bio-clinical applications.

Abstract
Over the past decade, there have been many interesting studies in the scientific literature about the interaction of graphene-based polymeric nanocomposites with microorganisms to tackle antimicrobial resistance. These studies have reported variable intensities of biocompatibility and selectivity for the nanocomposites toward a specific strain, but it is widely believed that graphene nanocomposites have antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal activities. Such antibacterial activity is due to several mechanisms by which graphene nanocomposites can act on cells including stimulating oxidative stress; disrupting membranes due to sharp edges; greatly changing core structure mechanical strength and coarseness. However, the underlying mechanisms of graphene nanocomposites as antiviral and antifungal agents remain relatively scarce. In this review, recent advances in the synthesis, functional tailoring, and antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal applications of graphene nanocomposites are summarized. The synthesis of graphene materials and graphene-based polymeric nanocomposites with techniques such as pressurized gyration, electrospinning, chemical vapor deposition, and layer-by-layer self-assembly is first introduced. Then, the antimicrobial mechanisms of graphene membranes are presented and demonstrated typical in vitro and in vivo studies on the use of graphene nanocomposites for antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal applications. Finally, the review describes the biosafety, current limitations, and potential of antimicrobial graphene-based nanocomposites.

Abstract
Nanomaterials by virtue of their small size and enhanced surface area, present unique physicochemical properties that enjoy widespread applications in bioengineering, biomedicine, biotechnology, disease diagnosis, and therapy. In recent years, graphene and its derivatives have attracted a great deal of attention in various applications, including photovoltaics, electronics, energy storage, catalysis, sensing, and biotechnology owing to their exceptional structural, optical, thermal, mechanical, and electrical. Graphene is a two-dimensional sheet of sp2 hybridized carbon atoms of atomic thickness, which are arranged in a honeycomb crystal lattice structure. Graphene derivatives are graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), which are highly oxidized and less oxidized forms of graphene, respectively. Another form of graphene is graphene quantum dots (GQDs), having a size of less than 20 nm. Contemporary graphene research focuses on using graphene nanomaterials for biomedical purposes as they have a large surface area for loading biomolecules and medicine and offer the potential for the conjugation of fluorescent dyes or quantum dots for bioimaging. The present review begins with the synthesis, purification, structure, and properties of graphene nanomaterials.

Abstract
Electrodes for electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide (GO) are coated with thin films using drop-casting and evaporation-assisted self-assembly. The influence of loading, the size of the flakes of GO, and the macroscopic coffee-ring effect occurring during drying are investigated. The effective transfer of protons and electrons in the electrochemical reduction of GO is decisive.

Abstract
We report the preparation of manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanoparticles and graphene oxide (GO) composites reduced by an electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process. The MnO2 nanoparticles were prepared by the electrolysis of an acidic KMnO4 solution using an alternating monopolar arrangement of a multiple-electrode system. The particles produced were γ-MnO2 with a rod-like morphology and a surface area of approximately 647.2 m2/g. The GO particles were produced by the oxidation of activated coconut shell charcoal using a modified Hummers method. The surface area of the GO produced was very high, with a value of approximately 2525.9 m2/g. Fourier transform infrared spectra indicate that a significant portion of the oxygen-containing functional groups was removed from the GO by electrochemical reduction during the EPD process after sufficient time following deposition of the GO. The composite obtained by the EPD process was composed of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and γ-MnO2 and exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the oxygen reduction reaction following a two-electron transfer mechanism. This approach opens the possibility for assembling rGO composites in an efficient and effective manner for electrocatalysis.

Abstract
We show here how the electrochemical reduction signal of graphene oxide nanocolloids is inhibited upon the formation of non-covalent interactions with single stranded DNA oligonucleotides. The drop in the reduction current intensity is strongly influenced by the nucleobase sequence, and can therefore be directly correlated to the specific DNA homo-oligonucleotide.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin G (IgG), a type of antibody, represents approximately 75% of serum antibodies in humans, and is the most common type of antibody found in blood circulation. Consequently, the development of simple, fast and reliable systems for IgG detection, which can be achieved using electrochemical sandwich-type immunosensors, is of considerable interest. In this study we have developed an immunosensor for human (H)-IgG using an inexpensive and very simple fabrication method based on ZnO nanorods (NRs) obtained through the electrodeposition of ZnO. The ZnO NRs were treated by electrodepositing a layer of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to ensure an easy immobilization of the antibodies. On Indium Tin Oxide supported on Polyethylene Terephthalate/ZnO NRs/rGO substrate, the sandwich configuration of the immunosensor was built through different incubation steps, which were all optimized. The immunosensor is electrochemically active thanks to the presence of gold nanoparticles tagging the secondary antibody. The immunosensor was used to measure the current density of the hydrogen development reaction which is indirectly linked to the concentration of H-IgG. In this way the calibration curve was constructed obtaining a logarithmic linear range of 10–1000 ng/mL with a detection limit of few ng/mL and good sensitivity.

Abstract
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are sensitive to acidity variations in both bioelectricity generation and biochemical digestion aspects, therefore online pH monitoring is of necessity to guarantee optimal function of MFCs. Present pH meters hardly fulfill this special need. In this work, we designed a novel voltammetric pH sensor based on electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (rGO) modified screen printed electrode. By surface doping of alizarin, good linearity of pH sensing over the range of 4.0-9.0 can be realized. Fast readout can be acquired within 15 s for each test. pH monitoring for artificial wastewater with inoculum of granular activated sludge in a MFC was successfully illustrated. Specially, it was verified that the performance was improved with alizarin doping due to the enhanced rGO surface proton diffusion. This approach provides an online, calibration-free and long stable pH monitoring method for the future MFC development.

Abstract
The effect of the oxidized functional groups on the structural, electronic, and reactivity properties of armchair graphene nanoribbons has been investigated in the framework of the density functional theory. The presence of functional groups near the edges stabilizes the oxidized graphene nanoribbons (OGNRs) more than substituting near the center. Overall, we found slight differences in the electronic properties of OGNRs concerning the pristine ones. The oxygen contribution of functional groups to the DOS is found in the conducting energy bands far from the Fermi level. Consequently, the semiconducting behavior is maintained after doping. Based on the reactivity of OGNRs, the most promising nanostructures were proposed as adsorbents studying the interaction and complexation with phenol, a critical pollutant removed mainly by hydrotreating processes (HDO) to produce bio-oil. Parallel and perpendicular phenol conformations were found towards the OGNRs in the optimized complexes driven by a physisorption process. These results provide significant insights for catalytic processes that use biomass derivatives containing phenolic compounds. The physisorption of streams containing pollutants on OGNRs could be adapted to new technological applications for the remotion of aromatic compounds under environmentally friendly operational conditions.

Abstract
Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter involved in many human biological processes as well as in different neurodegenerative diseases. Monitoring the concentration of dopamine in biological fluids, i.e., blood and urine is an effective way of accelerating the early diagnosis of these types of diseases. Electrochemical sensors are an ideal choice for real-time screening of dopamine as they can achieve fast, portable inexpensive and accurate measurements. In this work, we present electrochemical dopamine sensors based on reduced graphene oxide coupled with Au or Pt nanoparticles. Sensors were developed by co-electrodeposition onto a flexible substrate, and a systematic investigation concerning the electrodeposition parameters (concentration of precursors, deposition time and potential) was carried out to maximize the sensitivity of the dopamine detection. Square wave voltammetry was used as an electrochemical technique that ensured a high sensitive detection in the nM range. The sensors were challenged against synthetic urine in order to simulate a real sample detection scenario where dopamine concentrations are usually lower than 600 nM. Our sensors show a negligible interference from uric and ascorbic acids which did not affect sensor performance. A wide linear range (0.1-20 μm for gold nanoparticles, 0.1-10 μm for platinum nanoparticles) with high sensitivity (6.02 and 7.19 μA μM-1 cm-2 for gold and platinum, respectively) and a low limit of detection (75 and 62 nM for Au and Pt, respectively) were achieved. Real urine samples were also assayed, where the concentrations of dopamine detected aligned very closely to measurements undertaken using conventional laboratory techniques. Sensor fabrication employed a cost-effective production process with the possibility of also being integrated into flexible substrates, thus allowing for the possible development of wearable sensing devices.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-functionalized 2D material networks are promising for a wide range of applications, but in situ formation of nanoparticles is commonly challenged by rapid growth. Here, we demonstrate controlled synthesis of small and dispersed iron oxide nanoparticles on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) networks through rapid localized heating with microwaves with low-cost iron nitrate as the precursor. The strong coupling of the microwave radiation with the rGO network rapidly heats the network locally to decompose the iron nitrate and generate iron oxide nanoparticles, while cessation of microwaves leads to rapid cooling to minimize crystal growth. Small changes in the microwave reaction time (<1 min) led to very large changes in the iron oxide morphology. The solid-state microwave syntheses produced narrower nanoparticle size distribution than conventional heating. These results illustrate the potential of solid-state microwave syntheses to control the nanoparticle size on 2D materials through rapid localized heating under the microwave process conditions, which should be extendable to a variety of transition metal oxide-rGO systems.

Abstract
The synthesis of Graphene is critical to achieving its functions in practical applications. Different methods have been used to synthesis graphene, but graphite exfoliation is considered the simplest way to produce graphene and graphene oxide. In general, controlling the synthesis conditions to achieving the optimum yield, keeping the pristine structure to realize on-demand properties, minimum layers with the smallest lateral size, and minimum oxygen content are the most obstacles experienced by researchers. Each application requires a specific graphene model, graphene oxides GO, or even graphene intercalated compounds (GIC) depending on synthesis conditions and approach. This paper reviewed and summarized the most researches in this field and focusing on exfoliation methods.

Abstract
In this paper, a novel kind of graphene (Gr)-reinforced Zn-Ni alloy composite coating is successfully prepared on an iron substrate by pulsed reverse electrodeposition. Hydrophilic graphene oxide (GO) is directly added to the electrolyte and reduced to Gr during coating. The experimental results reveal that (1) there is an optimal adding amount (about 0.4 g/L) of GO in the electrolyte for achieving the highest mechanical properties and corrosion resistance; (2) the composite coating shows grain refinement and a dense microstructure due to heterogeneous nucleation sites provided from the Gr sheets during electrodeposition; and (3) compared to the regular Zn-Ni coating, the composite coating exhibits many enhancements, including hardness increase by 2.3 times, elastic modulus increase by 39%, and corrosion rate decrease from 37.66 to 1.30 mils/annum. This process has advantages such as being simple, effective, well repeatable, economical, and supporting large-scale production and is expected to be widely applied in electronics, automobiles, marine engineering, and military industries.

Abstract
The emerged demand for high-performance systems promotes the development of two-dimensional (2D) graphene-based photodetectors. However, these graphene-based photodetectors are usually fabricated by an expensive photolithography and complicated transferred process. Here, a semi-transparent reduced graphene oxide (rGO) photodetector on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate with ultra-low power operation by simple processes is developed. The photodetector has achieved a transmittance about 60%, a superior responsivity of 375 mA/W and a high detectivity of 1012 Jones at a bias of -1.5 V. Even the photodetector is worked at zero bias, the photodetector exhibits a superior on/off ratio of 12. Moreover, the photoresponse of such photodetector displays little reduction after hundred times bending, revealing that the photodetector is reliable and robust. The proposed fabrication strategy of the photodetector will be beneficial to the integration of semi-transparent and low-power wearable devices in the future.

Abstract
Multifunctional and low-cost electrode materials are desirable for the next-generation sensors and energy storage applications. This paper reports the use of pencil graphite as an electrode for dual applications that include the detection of free residual chlorine using electro-oxidation process and as an electrochemical energy storage cathode. The pencil graphite is transferred to cellulose paper by drawing ten times and applied for the detection of free residual chlorine, which shows a sensitivity of 27 μA mM-1 cm-2 with a limit of detection of 88.9 μM and linearity up to 7 mM. The sample matrix effect study for the commonly interfering ions such as NO3-, SO42-, CO32-, Cl-, HCO3- shows minimal impact on free residual chlorine detection. Pencil graphite then used after cyclic voltammogram treatment as a cathode in the aqueous Zn/Al-ion battery, showing an average discharge potential plateau of ~1.1 V, with a specific cathode capacity of ~54.1 mAh g-1 at a current of 55 mA g-1. It maintains ~95.8% of its initial efficiency after 100 cycles. Results obtained from the density functional theory calculation is consistent with the electro-oxidation process involved in the detection of free residual chlorine, as well as intercalation and de-intercalation behavior of Al3+ into the graphite layers of Zn/Al-ion battery. Therefore, pencil graphite due to its excellent electro-oxidation and conducting properties, can be successfully implemented as low cost, disposable and green material for both sensor and energy-storage applications.

Abstract
Designing of fast, inexpensive and sensitive furfural determination methods for dairy milk is crucial in analytical and food chemistry. In this study, an electrochemical sensor was developed for the cathodic determination of furfural using a one-step electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ErGO) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The morphology and chemical constituents of the obtained ErGO/GCE were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that the fast and green electrochemical reduction process effectively eliminated the oxygen-containing groups in GO and produced reduced graphene with a high surface area and improved electron transfer kinetics. In addition, the ErGO based sensor displayed excellent responses for furfural in a Na2HPO4-NaH2PO4 solution (pH = 9.18) with a wide linear range from 2 to 2015 μM and a low detection limit of 0.4 μM (S/N = 3). The reduction mechanism of furfural was also discussed. Furthermore, the feasibility of the sensor was confirmed by the determination of furfural in three milk samples which generated acceptable outputs.

Abstract
To explore a green, low-cost, and efficient strategy to synthesis reduced graphene oxide (RGO), the process and mechanism of the graphene oxide (GO) reduction by a model electrochemically active bacteria (EAB), Geobacter sulfurreducens PCA, were studied. In this work, up to 1.0 mg mL-1 of GO was reduced by G. sulfurreducens within 0.5-8 days. ID/IG ratio in reduced product was similar to chemically RGO. After microbial reduction, the peak which corresponded to the reflection of graphene oxide (001) disappeared, while another peak considered as graphite spacing (002) appeared. The peak intensity of typical oxygen function groups, such as carboxyl C-O and >O (epoxide) groups, diminished in bacterially induced RGO comparing to initial GO. Besides, we observed the doping of nitrogen and phosphorus elements in bacterially induced RGO. In a good agreement with that, better electrochemical performance was noticed after GO reduction. As confirmed with differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) analysis, the maximum value of peak currents of bacterially induced RGO were significantly higher than those of GO. Our results showed the electron transfer at microbial cell/GO interface promoted the GO reduction, suggesting a broader application of EAB in biological mediated production of RGO.

Abstract
Headed for developing minimalistic strategies to produce graphene@metal hybrids for electronics on a larger scale, we discovered that graphene oxide (GO)-metal oxide (MO) hybrids are formed spontaneously in water at room temperature in the presence of nothing else than graphene oxide itself and metal ions. Our observations show metal oxide nanoparticles decorating the surface of graphene oxide with particle diameter in the range of 10-40 nm after only 1 h of mixing. Their load ranged from 0.2% to 6.3% depending on the nature of the selected metal. To show the generality of the reactivity of GO with different ions in standard conditions, we prepared common hybrids with GO and tin, iron, zinc, aluminum and magnesium. By means of carbon-13 solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance using magic angle spinning, we have found that graphene oxide is also moderately reduced at the same time. Our method is powerful and unique because it avoids the use of chemicals and heat to promote the coprecipitation and the reduction of GO. This advantage allows synthesizing GO@MO hybrids with higher structural integrity and purity with a tunable level of oxidization, in a faster and greener way.

Abstract
This paper aimed to improve the electrochemical activity of a pitch-derived open-pore graphite foam (GF) by an electrochemical coating of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and platinum particles without significantly affecting its 3D-structure. RGO was synthesized using cyclic voltammetry (CV) from a 3 g L−1 GO and 0.1 M LiClO4 solution. For the electrodeposition of Pt particles, an alternating current method based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used. A sinusoidal voltage from a fixed potential Ei was varied following a selected amplitude (ΔEac = ± 0.35 V) in a frequency range of 8 Hz ≤ fi ≤ 10Hz, where i = 500. This method proved its efficiency when compared to the traditional CV by obtaining more highly electroactive coatings in less synthesis time. For samples’ characterization, physical measures included permeability, pressure drop, and nitrogen adsorption isotherms. The electrochemical characterization was performed by CV. The surface morphology and chemical composition were examined using field emission electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), respectively. RGO improved the electron transfer rate constant of GF, and a more homogeneous coating distribution of reduced size Pt particles was obtained.

Abstract
Over the years, polyaniline (PANI) has received enormous attention due to its unique properties. Herein, it was chosen to develop a new polymeric composite material: reduced graphene oxide/polyaniline (rGO/PANI). The composite was prepared by a simple and cost-effective fabrication method of formation by mixing and sonication in various conditions. The obtained materials were characterized and identified using various techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman and ATR–FTIR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The objective of the paper was to confirm its applicability for the removal of contaminants from water. Water could be contaminated by various types of pollutants, e.g., inorganics, heavy metals, and many other industrial compounds, including dyes. We confirmed that the Acid Blue 129 dyes can be substantially removed through adsorption on prepared rGO/PANI. The adsorption kinetic data were modeled using the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models and the adsorption isotherm model was identified.

Abstract
2D nanomaterials with unique nanosheet structures, large surface areas, and extraordinary physicochemical properties have attracted tremendous interest. In the area of nanomedicine, research on graphene and its derivatives for diverse biomedical applications began as early as 2008. Since then, many other types of 2D nanomaterials, including transition metal dichalcogenides, transition metal carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides, black phosphorus nanosheets, layered double hydroxides, and metal-organic framework nanosheets, have been explored in the area of nanomedicine over the past decade. In particular, a large surface area makes 2D nanomaterials highly efficient drug delivery nanoplatforms. The unique optical and/or X-ray attenuation properties of 2D nanomaterials can be harnessed for phototherapy or radiotherapy of cancer. Furthermore, by integrating 2D nanomaterials with other functional nanoparticles or utilizing their inherent physical properties, 2D nanomaterials may also be engineered as nanoprobes for multimodal imaging of tumors. 2D nanomaterials have shown substantial potential for cancer theranostics. Herein, the latest progress in the development of 2D nanomaterials for cancer theranostic applications is summarized. Current challenges and future perspectives of 2D nanomaterials applied in nanomedicine are also discussed.

Abstract
Addressing the global challenge of sustainability calls for cost-effective and eco-friendly pathways to go beyond the existing energy-intense synthetic routes. Biohybrid electrochemical systems integrate electroactive bacteria with synthetic electrodes to leverage the power of biocatalysis for energy conversion and chemical synthesis. This work presents a three-dimensional electrode scaffold to couple the intracellular metabolism with extracellular redox transformations by means of electrochemistry. The large population of bacteria actively metabolizing within the electrode scaffold produces a benchmark current density. The biohybrid electrode can also carry out synthetic reactions within or beyond biochemical pathways driven by solar light. This hierarchical electrode provides a robust and versatile platform to wire bacteria’s intrinsic physiological functionalities with artificial electronics for sustainable energy conversion and chemical production. Integration of electroactive bacteria into electrodes combines strengths of intracellular biochemistry with electrochemistry for energy conversion and chemical synthesis. However, such biohybrid systems are often plagued with suboptimal electrodes, which limits the incorporation and productivity of the bacterial colony. Here, we show that an inverse opal-indium tin oxide electrode hosts a large population of current-producing Geobacter and attains a current density of 3 mA cm−2 stemming from bacterial respiration. Differential gene expression analysis revealed Geobacter’s transcriptional regulations to express more electron-relaying proteins when interfaced with electrodes. The electrode also allows coculturing with Shewanella for syntrophic electrogenesis, which grants the system additional flexibility in converting electron donors. The biohybrid electrode containing Geobacter can also catalyze the reduction of soluble fumarate and heterogenous graphene oxide, with electrons from an external power source or an irradiated photoanode. This biohybrid electrode represents a platform to employ live cells for sustainable power generation and biosynthesis.
