Abstract
In recent times, there is a mammoth challenge for the world and mankind to deal with the frequent use and misuse of antibiotics and its casual discard to the water bodies. The scavenging degradation of antibiotics which are no longer in use from the environment is a growing concern and compulsively needs to be addressed. Herein, we have devised a novel and green protocol for the synthesis of Cu2O decorated on reduced graphene oxide (Cu2O/RGO) nanocomposite (NCs) using agro-waste, i.e., orange pomace extract (OPE) as a reducing and stabilizing agent for the degradation of antibiotic. The biogenically synthesized Cu2O/RGO NCs proved to emerge as an excellent degradation catalyst exhibiting efficiency of 98.68% within 15 min and 86.38% within 30 min for 10 mg/L DC concentration assisted by ultrasound waves and solar light respectively in separate reactions. The complete degradation process followed a pseudo-first-order kinetics with a rate constant of 0.29 min- 1 and 0.0542 min- 1 for sonocatalytic and photocatalytic degradation process, respectively. Surface area analysis showed that with the increase in the GO amount, the doxycycline degradation increases. An in-depth mechanistic account of sonocatalytic and photocatalytic process has been discussed followed by a radical scavenging test which validated the major role of the synthesized NCs in the degradation of DC. The extraordinary catalytic indulgence of biogenically synthesized graphene-based nanocatalyst opens newer avenues for future research in green chemistry and catalytic field.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The aggregation of phthalocyanines (Pcs) enfeebles their suitability as G-quadruplex (G4) ligands over time. It is hypothesized that the interfacial assembly of Pcs on graphene oxide (GO) influences intermolecular interactions, thereby affecting their physicochemical properties and inducing stabilization of Pcs in solution. Hence, the stacking of Pcs on GO could be tuned to create nanosystems with the ability to detect G4 for longer periods through a slow release of Pcs. EXPERIMENTS Four cationic structurally-related zinc(II) phthalocyanines (ZnPc) were non-covalently assembled on GO by ultrasonic exfoliation. A comprehensive characterization of ZnPcs@GO was carried out by spectroscopic techniques and electron microscopy to understand the organization of ZnPcs on GO. The fluorescence of ZnPcs@GO was studied in the presence of G4 (T2G5T)4 and duplex ds26 through spectrofluorimetric titrations and monitored along time. FINDINGS GO induced a re-organization of the ZnPcs mostly to J-aggregates and quenched their original fluorescence up to 98 % ("turn-off"). In general, ZnPcs@GO recovered their fluorescence ("turn-on") after the titrations and showed affinity to G4 (KD up to 1.92 μM). This is the first report that highlights the contribution of GO interfaces to assemble ZnPcs and allow their slow and controlled release to detect G4 over longer periods.

Abstract
The mode of interaction of polyphenolic compounds like genistein (GTN) and ellagic acid (EGA) with human and bovine serum albumin (HSA and BSA, respectively) was found to differ significantly. Stern-Volmer (SV) analysis of the fluorescence quenching data revealed that the binding strength of EGA (1.9 ± 0.09 × 105 M-1) to HSA is about one order of magnitude higher than GTN (2.24 ± 0.06 × 104 M-1). While the static quenching of HSA fluorescence was found to proceed through simple Stern-Volmer (SV) mechanism, a quenching sphere-of-action model was indispensable for BSA. Temperature dependent fluorescence along with a series of other biophysical experiments and ensemble docking calculation revealed that EGA and GTN bind to the serum proteins primarily through the entropy driven process. The α-helical content and the microenvironment near Trp residue of HSA and BSA did not show any appreciable change due to the binding of either GTN or EGA. Interestingly, both GTN and EGA were found to inhibit the formation of advanced glycated end (AGE) product of serum proteins up to the extent of 70-90% within 12-24 h. Relatively moderate binding propensity along with the anti-glycation ability of the polyphenols confirmed that GTN and EGA can be used either as an alternative or towards development of suitable drugs in the prevention of many diabetic-related complications.

Abstract
Recent COVID-19 pandemic has claimed millions of lives due to lack of a rapid diagnostic tool. Global scientific community is now making joint efforts on developing rapid and accurate diagnostic tools for early detection of viral infections to preventing future outbreaks. Conventional diagnostic methods for virus detection are expensive and time consuming. There is an immediate requirement for a sensitive, reliable, rapid and easy-to-use Point-of-Care (PoC) diagnostic technology. Electrochemical biosensors have the potential to fulfill these requirements, but they are less sensitive for sensing viruses/viral infections. However, sensitivity and performance of these electrochemical platforms can be improved by integrating carbon nanostructure, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). These nanostructures offer excellent electrical property, biocompatibility, chemical stability, mechanical strength and, large surface area that are most desired in developing PoC diagnostic tools for detecting viral infections with speed, sensitivity, and cost-effectiveness. This review summarizes recent advancements made toward integrating graphene/CNTs nanostructures and their surface modifications useful for developing new generation of electrochemical nanobiosensors for detecting viral infections. The review also provides prospects and considerations for extending the graphene/CNTs based electrochemical transducers into portable and wearable PoC tools that can be useful in preventing future outbreaks and pandemics.

Abstract
Graphene is a 2D material combining numerous outstanding physical properties, including high flexibility and strength, extremely high thermal conductivity and electron mobility, transparency, etc., which make it a unique testbed to explore fundamental physical phenomena. Such physical properties can be further tuned by combining graphene with other nanomaterials or (macro)molecules to form hybrid functional materials, which by design can display not only the properties of the individual components but also exhibit new properties and enhanced characteristics arising from the synergic interaction of the components. The implementation of the hybrid approach to graphene also allows boosting the performances in a multitude of technological applications. This review reports the hybrids formed by graphene combined with other low-dimensional nanomaterials of diverse dimensionality (0D, 1D, and 2D) and (macro)molecules, with emphasis on the synthetic methods. The most important applications of these hybrids in the fields of sensing, water purification, energy storage, biomedical, (photo)catalysis, and opto(electronics) are also reviewed, with a special focus on the superior performances of these hybrids compared to the individual, nonhybridized components.

Abstract
3D graphene-based materials are promising adsorbents for environmental applications. Furthermore, increasing attention has been paid to the improvement of 3D graphene adsorbents for removing pollutants. In this article, the progress in the modification of 3D graphene materials and their performance for removing pollutants were reviewed. The modification strategies, which were classified as (1) the activation with CO2 (steam and other oxidants) and (2) the surface functionalization with polymers (metals, and metal oxides), were evaluated. The performances of modified 3D graphene materials were assessed for the removal of waste gases (such as CO2), refractory organics, and heavy metals. The challenges and future research directions were discussed for the environmental applications of 3D graphene materials.

Abstract
The photophysical behavior and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by chloroaluminum phthalocyanine (AlClPc) are evaluated by steady state absorption/emission, transient emission, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies in the presence of graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (RGO), and carboxylated nanographene oxide (NGO). AlClPc and graphene oxides form a supramolecular structure stabilized by π-π interactions, which quantitatively quenches fluorescence emission and suppresses ROS generation. These effects occur even when graphenes are previously functionalized with Pluronic F-127. A small part of quenching is due to an inner filter effect, in which graphene oxides compete with AlClPc for light absorption. Nonetheless, most of the (static) quenching arises on the formation of a nonemissive ground state complex between AlClPc and graphene oxides. The efficiency of graphene oxides on the fluorescence quenching and ROS generation suppression follows the order: GO < NGO < RGO.

Abstract
The influence of graphene (G) dispersions in different types of surfactants (anionic, non-ionic, and cationic) on the fluorescence of vitamin B₆ (pyridoxine) was studied. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to evaluate the quality of the G dispersions via measuring their flake thickness. The effect of surfactant type and concentration on the fluorescence intensity was analyzed, and fluorescence quenching effects were found for all of the systems. These turn out to be more intense with increasing both surfactant and G concentrations, albeit they do not depend on the G/surfactant weight ratio. For the same G concentration, the magnitude of the quenching follows the order: cationic > non-ionic ≥ anionic. The cationic surfactants, which strongly adsorb onto G via electrostatic attraction, are the most effective dispersing agents and they enable a stronger interaction with the zwitterionic form of the vitamin; the dispersing power improves with increasing the surfactant chain length. The fit of the experimental data to the Stern-Volmer equation suggests either a static or dynamic quenching mechanism for the dispersions in non-ionic surfactants, while those in ionic surfactants show a combined mechanism. The results that were obtained herein have been compared to those that were reported earlier for the quenching of another vitamin, riboflavin, to elucidate how the change in the vitamin structure influences the interactions with G in the surfactant dispersions.

Abstract
Fluorescence quenching is a valuable tool to gain insight about dynamic changes of fluorophores in complex systems. Graphene (G), a single-layered 2D nanomaterial with unique properties, was dispersed in surfactant aqueous solutions of different nature: non-ionic polyoxyethylene-23-lauryl ether (Brij L23), anionic sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS), and cationic hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB). The influence of the surfactant type, chain length and concentration, G total concentration and G/surfactant weight ratio on the fluorescence intensity of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) was investigated. The quality of the different G dispersions was assessed by scanning and transmission electron microscopies (SEM and TEM). A quenching phenomenon of the fluorescence of riboflavin was found for G dispersions in all the surfactants, which generally becomes stronger with increasing G/surfactant weight ratio. For dispersions in the ionic surfactants, the quenching is more pronounced as the surfactant concentration raises, whilst the non-ionic one remains merely unchanged for the different G/Brij L23 weight ratios. More importantly, results indicate that DTAB solutions are the optimum media for dispersing G sheets, leading to an up to 16-fold drop in the fluorescence intensity. Understanding the mechanism in fluorescence quenching of G dispersions in surfactants could be useful for several optical applications.

Abstract
The absorption and fluorescence spectra as well as fluorescence lifetimes of tetrasulfonated zinc phthalocyanine ZnPc(SO3Na)4 were measured in the absence and presence of four rhodamine dyes, Rhodamine B (RB), Ethyl rhodamine B (ERB), Rhodamine 6G (R6G), Rhodamine 110 (R110), and Pyronine B (PYB). The ground state complexes of phthalocyanine-(Rhodamine)2 were observed which exhibit new absorption bands. The binding constants are all very large (0.86×10(5)-0.22×10(8) M(-1)), suggesting rhodamine-phthalocyanine pairs are very good combinations for efficient selfassembly. Both the fluorescence intensity and the lifetime values of ZnPc(SO3Na)4 were decreased by the presence of rhodamines. The structural effect of rhodamines on selfassembly is significant. The ground state binding and dynamic quenching capability is PYB>R6G>ERB>RB>R110. The dynamic fluorescence quenching is due to the photoinduced electron transfer (PET). The PET rate constant is very large and in the order of 10(13) M(-1) s(-1), much greater than kf and kic (in the order of 10(8) M(-1) s(-1)), which means that the PET efficiency is almost 100%. Therefore the non-covalent Pc-rhodamine is a very good pair of donor/acceptor for potential efficient solar energy conversion.
