Abstract
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are a newly developed class of material, known as zero-dimensional nanomaterials, with characteristics derived from both carbon dots (CDs) and graphene. GQDs exhibit several ideal properties, including the potential to absorb incident energy, high water solubility, tunable photoluminescence, good stability, high drug-loading capacity, and notable biocompatibility, which make them powerful tools for various applications in the field of biomedicine. Additionally, GQDs can be incorporated with additional materials to develop nanocomposites with exceptional qualities and enriched functionalities. Inspired by the intriguing scientific discoveries and substantial contributions of GQDs to the field of biomedicine, we present a broad overview of recent advancements in GQDs-based nanocomposites for biomedical applications. The review first outlines the latest synthesis and classification of GQDs nanocomposite and enables their use in advanced composite materials for biomedicine. Furthermore, the systematic study of the biomedical applications for GQDs-based nanocomposites of drug delivery, biosensing, photothermal, photodynamic and combination therapies are emphasized. Finally, possibilities, challenges, and paths are highlighted to encourage additional research, which will lead to new therapeutics and global healthcare improvements.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanocomposites that combine both magnetic and photoluminescent (PL) properties provide significant advantages for nanomedical applications. In this work, a one-stage synthesis of magneto-luminescent nanocomposites (MLNC) with subsequent stabilization is proposed. Microwave synthesis of magnetic carbon dots (M-CDs) was carried out using precursors of carbon dots and magnetic nanoparticles. The effect of stabilization on the morphological and optical properties of nanocomposites has been evaluated. Both types of nanocomposites demonstrate magnetic and PL properties simultaneously. The resulting MLNCs demonstrated excellent solubility in water, tunable PL with a quantum yield of up to 28%, high photostability, and good cytocompatibility. Meanwhile, confocal fluorescence imaging showed that M-CDs were localized in the cell nuclei. Consequently, the multifunctional nanocomposites M-CDs are promising candidates for bioimaging and therapy.

Abstract
This work reports the development of a fast and reliable amperometric sensor for the detection of amino acids. The detector was constructed using copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) supported on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) modified glassy carbon electrode (CuNPs-RGO/GCE) and based on the application of high performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD). Under optimized isocratic HPAEC-PAD conditions (using 40 mmol L-1 NaOH as mobile phase, flow rate of 0.30 mL min-1 and detection potential of 0.45 V vs. Pd/PdO), the linear dynamic ranges of the concentration of amino acids obtained were 0.50-50 µmol L-1 for lysine, 1.0-100 µmol L-1 for alanine, glycine and serine, and 5.0-100 µmol L-1 for leucine. The limits of detection (S/N = 3) obtained ranged from 0.10 (for lysine and leucine) to 0.50 µmol L-1 (for alanine, glycine and serine) and sensitivity varied from 6.1 (for leucine) to 21.5 nA µmol-1 L (for serine). The average recovery percentages ranged from 97% (for glycine) to 102% (for leucine and serine). The results obtained showed that the CuNPs-RGO/GCE has good long-term stability, repeatability and reproducibility; this makes the device suitable for application as an electrochemical detector. The successful application of the proposed method for the analysis of sugarcane vinasse demonstrates its suitability for separation and determination of amino acids in complex matrices.

Abstract
In this research, a facile, two-step synthesis of Fe3O4–LCysteine–graphene quantum dots (GQDs) nanocomposite is reported. This synthesis method comprises the preparation of GQDs via hydrothermal route, which should be conjugated to the LCysteine functionalized core–shell magnetic structure with the core of about 7.5-nm iron oxide nanoparticle and 3.5-nm LCysteine shell. LCysteine, as a biocompatible natural amino acid, was used to link magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) with GQDs. X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray were used to investigate the presence and formation of MNPs, \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

Morphology and size distribution of nanoparticles were demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Finally, the magnetic and optical properties of the prepared nanocomposite were measured by vibrating sample magnetometer, ultraviolet–visible, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The results show that Fe3O4–LCysteine–GQDs nanocomposite exhibits a superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature with high saturation magnetization and low magnetic coercivity, which are 28.99 emu/g and 0.09 Oe, respectively. This nanocomposite also shows strong and stable emission at 460 nm and 530 nm when it is excited with the 235 nm wavelength. The magnetic GQDs structure also reveals the absorption wavelength at 270 nm. Therefore, Fe3O4–LCysteine–GQDs nanocomposite can be considered as a potential multifunctional hybrid structure with magnetic and optical properties simultaneously. This nanocomposite can be used for a wide range of biomedical applications like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents, biosensors, photothermal therapy, and hyperthermia.

Abstract
Magnetic nanomaterials (MNMs) have gained high attention in different fields of studies due to their ferromagnetic/superparamagnetic properties and their low toxicity and high biocompatibility. MNMs contain magnetic elements such as iron and nickel in metallic, bimetallic, metal oxide, and mixed metal oxide. In electroanalytical methods, MNMs have been applied as sorbents for sample preparation before the electrochemical detection (sorbent role), as the electrode modifier (catalytic role), and the integration of the above two roles (as both sorbent and catalytic agent). In this paper, the application of MNMs in electroanalytical methods have been classified based on the main role of the nanomaterial and discussed separately. Furthermore, catalytic activities of MNMs in electroanalytical methods such as redox electrocatalytic, nanozymes catalytic (peroxidase, catalase activity, oxidase activity, superoxide dismutase activity), catalyst gate, and nanocontainer have been discussed.

Abstract
Carbon-based quantum dots (CDs) are mainly divided into two sub-groups; carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and graphene quantum dots (GQDs), which exhibit outstanding photoluminescence (PL) properties, low toxicity, superior biocompatibility and facile functionalization. Regarding these features, they have been promising candidates for biomedical science and engineering applications. In this work, we reviewed the efforts made to modify these zero-dimensional nano-materials to obtain the best properties for bio-imaging, drug and gene delivery, cancer therapy, and bio-sensor applications. Five main surface modification techniques with outstanding results are investigated, including doping, surface functionalization, polymer capping, nano-composite and core-shell structures, and the drawbacks and challenges in each of these methods are discussed.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AR) is one of the most important public health challenges worldwide as it represents a serious complication that is able to increase the mortality, morbidity, disability, hospital stay and economic burden related to infectious diseases. As such, the spread of AR–pathogens must be considered as an emergency, and interdisciplinary approaches must be undertaken in order to develop not only drugs, but holistic strategies to undermine the epidemic and pathogenic potentials of multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens. One of such approaches has focused on the use of antimicrobial nanoparticles (ANPs), as they have demonstrated to possess strong antimicrobial effects on MDR pathogens. On the other hand, the ability of bacteria to develop resistance to such agents is minimal. In this way, ANPs may seem a good choice for the development of new drugs, but there is no certainty about their safety, which may delay its translation to the clinical setting. As MDR pathogens are quickly becoming more prevalent and drug development is slow and expensive, there is an increasing need for the rapid development of new strategies to control such agents. We hereby explore the possibility of designing ANP-based devices such as surgical masks and fabrics, wound dressings, catheters, prostheses, dentifrices, water filters, and nanoparticle-coated metals to exploit the potential of such materials in the combat of MDR pathogens, with a good potential for translation into the clinical setting.

Abstract
In the present study, electrochemical behavior of nevirapine on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with TiO2 nanoparticles decorated graphene nanoribbons was investigated. Characterization of different components used for modifications was achieved using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrochemical behavior of nevirapine on the modified electrodes was examined using cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), chronoamperometry (CA), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). A considerable oxidation potential decrease of +352 mV for nevirapine in 0.1 M phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), pH 11.0, was achieved due to synergy offered by graphene nanoribbons and TiO2 compared to graphene nanoribbons (+252 mV) and TiO2 (−37 mV), all with respect to the glassy carbon electrode. Under optimized conditions, DPV gave linear calibrations over the range of 0.020–0.14 µM. The detection limit was calculated as 0.043 µM. The developed sensor was used for determination of nevirapine in a pharmaceutical formulation successfully.

Abstract
In this study, rice husk was used as a sustainable source to synthesize graphene quantum dots (GQDOs) with 2D morphology. Chemical modification of GQDOs with Ba(OH)2 was followed to form a novel GQDOs-Ba nanobiosorbent with an increased number of surface hydroxyl groups. The physicochemical properties of GQDOs and GQDOs-Ba were investigated by FT-IR, SEM, TEM, TGA, and XRD. The adsorption parameters of Pb(II) and La(III) onto GQDOs-Ba were optimized using microwave sorption approach. The maximum capacity reached 3400 µmol g-1 (pH 7), and 1500 µmol g-1 (pH 5) at 15 s for Pb(II) and La(III), respectively. The adsorption isotherm models by GQDOs-Ba fitted well with Langmuir. The pseudo-second order was agreed by Pb(II) and La(III) ions. The thermodynamic studies elucidated that Pb(II) and La(III) adsorption onto GQDOs-Ba followed a spontaneous model. The GQDOs-Ba nanobiosorbent accomplished excellent removal percentages from different water samples containing lead (98.5%-99.8%) and lanthanum (94.6%-96.2%).

Abstract
Magnetic graphene composites (MGCs), which are composed of magnetic nanoparticles with graphene or its derivatives, played an important role in sensors development. Due to the enhanced electronic properties and the synergistic effect of magnetic nanomaterials and graphene, MGCs could be used to realize more efficient sensors such as chemical, biological, and electronic sensors, compared to their single component alone. In this review, we first reviewed the various routes for MGCs preparation. Then, sensors based on MGCs were discussed in different groups, including optical sensors, electrochemical sensors, and others. At the end of the paper, the challenges and opportunities for MGCs in sensors implementation are also discussed.

Abstract
Neuro-transmitters have been considered to be essential biochemical molecules, which monitor physiological and behavioral function in the peripheral and central nervous systems. Thus, it is of high pharmaceutical and biological significance to analyze neuro-transmitters in the biological samples. So far, researchers have devised a lot of techniques for assaying these samples. It has been found that electro-chemical sensors possess features of robustness, selectivity, and sensitivity as well as real-time measurement. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and carbon QDs (CQDs) are considered some of the most promising carbon-based nanomaterials at the forefront of this research area. This is due to their characteristics including lower toxicity, higher solubility in various solvents, great electronic features, strong chemical inertness, high specific surface areas, plenty of edge sites for functionalization, and versatility, in addition to their ability to be modified via absorbent surface chemicals and the addition of modifiers or nano-materials. Hence in the present review, the synthesis methods of GQDs and CQDs has been summarized and their characterization methods also been analyzed. The applications of carbon-based QDs (GQDs and CQDs) in biological and sensing areas, such as biological imaging, drug/gene delivery, antibacterial and antioxidant activity, photoluminescence sensors, electrochemiluminescence sensors and electrochemical sensors, have also been discussed. This study then covers sensing features of key neurotransmitters, including dopamine, tyrosine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin and acetylcholine. Hence, issues and challenges of the GQDs and CQDs were analyzed for their further development. Carbon and graphene quantum dots for biological and sensing applications of neurotransmitters.![]()

Abstract
Fluorescent graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were prepared and utilized as nanosensor for differentiation and determination of two most common narcotic drugs i.e. morphine and methamphetamine. The microstructure and optical properties of the GQDs were investigated by various physicochemical methods. XRD analysis indicated low crystalline nature, demonstrating the graphitic nature of the GQDs. According to the Tauc plot derived from UV-Vis spectrum, the optical band gap of the GQDs was determined to ~4.98 eV, assigned to the n-π* transitions. Cyclic voltammetry analysis of the GQDs determined electrochemical band gap of ~4.88 eV with HOMO and LUMO energies equal to -6.83 eV and -1.95 eV, respectively. The GQDs were employed as fluorescent sensing probe for determination of morphine and methamphetamine. The blue fluorescence of the prepared GQDs under the excitation at 362 nm was quenched in the presence of methamphetamine and enhanced in the presence of morphine. The detection limits of 1.48 and 0.5 μg/ml were found for methamphetamine and morphine, respectively. This inexpensive sensing system shows some advantages such as short response time (t < 1 min) and low detection limit as well as nontoxicity.

Abstract
Doping of nitrogen is a promising strategy to modulate chemical, electronic, and structural functionalities of graphene (G)and graphene quantum dots (GQDs) for their outstanding properties in energy and environmental applications.This paper reviews various synthesis approaches of nitrogen-doped graphene (N-G) and nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs).;Thermal, ultrasonic, solvothermal, hydrothermal, and electron-beam methods have been applied to synthesize N-G and N-GQDs.These nitrogen-doped carbon materials are characterized to obtain their structural configurations in order to achieve better performance in their applications compared to only either graphene or graphene quantum dots.Both N-G and N-GQDs may be converted into functional materials by integrating with other compounds such as metal oxides/nitrides, polymers, and semiconductors.These functional materials demonstrate superior performance over N-G and N-GQDs materials.Examples of applications of N-G and N-GQDs include supercapacitors, batteries, sensors, fuel cells, solar cells, and photocatalyst.

Abstract
An innovative electrochemical interface for quantitation of L-proline (L-Pro) based on ternary amplification strategy was fabricated. In this work, gold nanoparticles prepared by soft template methodology were immobilized onto green and biocompatible nanocomposite containing poly as a conductive matrix and graphene quantum dots as the amplification element. Therefore, a novel multilayer film based on poly-L-cysteine, graphene quantum dots (GQDs), and gold nanoparticles (GNPs) was exploited to develop a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for the detection of L-Pro. Fully electrochemical methodology was used to prepare a new transducer on a glassy carbon electrode, which provided a high surface area towards sensitive detection of L-Pro. The prepared electrode was employed for the detection of L-Pro. Under optimized conditions, the calibration curve for L-Pro concentration was linear in 0.5 nM - 10 mM with a low limit of quantification of 0.1 nM. The practical analytical utility of the modified electrode was illustrated by determination of L-Pro in unprocessed human plasma samples.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer, as one of the most life-threatening malignancies among women worldwide, is usually diagnosed at the late stage despite up regulation of molecular markers such as carcinoma antigen 125 (CA 125) at the early stages of the malignancy. CA 125 is the only tumor marker recommended for clinical use in the diagnosis and management of ovarian cancer. The potential role of CA-125 for the early detection of ovarian cancer is controversial and has not yet been adopted for widespread screening efforts in asymptomatic women. Therefore, early detection of CA 125 in human biofluids is highly demanded. In the present study, a novel method was proposed for the fabrication of electrochemical immunosensor based reduced graphene oxide (RGO). Cysteamine capped gold nanoparticle (Cys-AuNPs) were deposited over the surface of ERGO probe using electrophoretic deposition method. These Cys-AuNPs/ERGO probes provide the favorable sites to attach the monoclonal antibody specific to CA 125 antigen. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), and square wave voltammetry (SWV) were applied for the electrochemical recognition of the biolayer. The represented signals demonstrates excellent figure of merits and good capability of the engineered immunosensor towards sensitive detection of CA 125. Quantitative measurements of CA 125 in human plasma samples have been demonstrated, showing the potential of the practical application of this novel immunosensor for the analysis of this biomarker in blood serum samples. This immunosensor has the ability of direct electron transfer as compared to earlier reported electrochemical immunosensors based electrochemical methods. Further, this immunosensor provides a very suitable and convenient alternative to replace the expensive commercially available methods such as immunohistochemistry. The following regression equation between the electrochemical current response and the CA 125 concentration range from 0.1 to 400 U/mL was found. The low limit of quantification for this immunosensor was 0.1 U/mL. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported on the direct immobilization of antibody on the surface of Cys-AuNPs/ERGO for fabrication of immunosensors.

Analytical chemistry is now developing mainly in two areas: automation and the creation of complexes that allow, on the one hand, for simultaneously analyzing a large number of samples without the participation of an operator, and on the other, the development of portable miniature devices for personalized medicine and the monitoring of a human habitat. The sensor devices, the great majority of which are biosensors and chemical sensors, perform the role of the latter. That last line is considered in the proposed review. Attention is paid to transducers, receptors, techniques of immobilization of the receptor layer on the transducer surface, processes of signal generation and detection, and methods for increasing sensitivity and accuracy. The features of sensors based on synthetic receptors and additional components (aptamers, molecular imprinted polymers, biomimetics) are discussed. Examples of bio- and chemical sensors' application are given. Miniaturization paths, new power supply means, and wearable and printed sensors are described. Progress in this area opens a revolutionary era in the development of methods of on-site and in-situ monitoring, that is, paving the way from the "test-tube to the smartphone".

Abstract
Aflatoxins are potential food pollutants produced by fungi. One of important toxins is aflatoxin M1 (AFM1). A great deal of concern is associated with AFM1 toxicity. In the present study, an innovative electrochemical interface for quantitation of AFM1 based on ternary signal amplification strategy was fabricated. In this work, silver nanoparticles was electrodeposited onto green and biocompatible nanocomposite containing α-cyclodextrin as conductive matrix and graphene quantum dots as amplification element. Therefore, a multilayer film based on α-cyclodextrin, graphene quantum dots, and silver nanoparticles was exploited to develop a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for detection of AFM1. Fully electrochemical methodology was used to prepare a transducer on a glassy carbon electrode, which provided a high surface area toward sensitive detection of AFM1. The surface morphology of electrode surface was characterized by high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscope. The proposed sensing platform provides a simple tool for AFM1 detection. Under optimized condition, the calibration curve for AFM1 concentration was linear in 0.015mM to 25mM with low limit of quantification of 2μM. The practical analytical utility of the modified electrode was illustrated by determination of AFM1 in unprocessed milk samples.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanostructures (IONs) in combination with graphene or its derivatives-e.g., graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide-hold great promise toward engineering of efficient nanocomposites for enhancing the performance of advanced devices in many applicative fields. Due to the peculiar electrical and electrocatalytic properties displayed by composite structures in nanoscale dimensions, increasing efforts have been directed in recent years toward tailoring the properties of IONs-graphene based nanocomposites for developing more efficient electrochemical sensors. In the present feature paper, we first reviewed the various routes for synthesizing IONs-graphene nanostructures, highlighting advantages, disadvantages and the key synthesis parameters for each method. Then, a comprehensive discussion is presented in the case of application of IONs-graphene based composites in electrochemical sensors for the determination of various kinds of (bio)chemical substances.

Abstract
A mediator-free electrochemical immunosensor for quantitation of prostate specific antigen (PSA) based on dual signal amplification strategy was fabricated. In this work, PSA-antibody (anti-PSA) was immobilized onto a green and biocompatible nanocomposite containing poly l-cysteine (P-Cys) as conductive matrix and graphene quantum dots (GQDs)/gold nanoparticles (GNPs) as dual signal amplification elements. Therefore, a novel multilayer film based on P-Cys, GQDs, and GNPs was exploited to develop a highly sensitive amperometric immunosensor for detection of PSA. Fully electrochemical methodology was used to prepare a new transducer on a gold surface which provided a high surface area to immobilize a high amount of the anti-PSA. Importantly, GNPs prepared by soft template synthesized method lead to compact morphology was achieved. The surface morphology of electrode surface was characterized by high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX). Chemical compositions of the gold nanoparticles were analysed by an EDX. The immunosensor was employed for the detection of PSA in physiological pH. Under optimized condition the calibration curve for PSA concentration was linear up to 2-9pgmL-1 with lower limit of quantification of 1.8pgmL-1.
