Graphene oxide and oxidized carbon nanodiscs as biomedical scaffolds for the targeted delivery of quercetin to cancer cells. NANOSCALE ADVANCES 2024; 6:2860-2874.

Abstract
Targeting cancer cells without affecting normal cells poses a particular challenge. Nevertheless, the utilization of innovative nanomaterials in targeted cancer therapy has witnessed significant growth in recent years. In this study, we examined two layered carbon nanomaterials, graphene and carbon nanodiscs (CNDs), both of which possess extraordinary physicochemical and structural properties alongside their nano-scale dimensions, and explored their potential as nanocarriers for quercetin, a bioactive flavonoid known for its potent anticancer properties. Within both graphitic allotropes, oxidation results in heightened hydrophilicity and the incorporation of oxygen functionalities. These factors are of great significance for drug delivery purposes. The successful oxidation and interaction of quercetin with both graphene (GO) and CNDs (oxCNDs) have been confirmed through a range of characterization techniques, including FTIR, Raman, and XPS spectroscopy, as well as XRD and AFM. In vitro anticancer tests were conducted on both normal (NIH/3T3) and glioblastoma (U87) cells. The results revealed that the bonding of quercetin with GO and oxCNDs enhances its cytotoxic effect on cancer cells. GO-Quercetin and oxCNDs-Quercetin induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest in U87 cells, whereas oxCNDs caused G2/M arrest, indicating a distinct mode of action. In long-term survival studies, cancer cells exhibited significantly lower viability than normal cells at all corresponding doses of GO-Quercetin and oxCNDs-Quercetin. This work leads us to conclude that the conjugation of quercetin to GO and oxCNDs shows promising potential for targeted anticancer activity. However, further research at the molecular level is necessary to substantiate our preliminary findings.

Abstract
The advancement and engineering of novel crystalline materials is facilitated through the utilization of innovative porous crystalline structures, established via KOH-treated monolithic graphene oxide frameworks. These materials exhibit remarkable and versatile characteristics for both functional exploration and applications within the realm of CO2 capture. In this comprehensive study, we have synthesized monolithic reduced graphene oxide-based adsorbents through a meticulous self-assembly process involving different mass ratios of GO/malic acid (MaA) (1:0.250, 1:0.500, and 1:1 by weight). Building upon this foundation, we further modified MGO 0.250 through KOH-treatment by chloroacetic acid method, leading to the creation of MGO 0.250_KOH, which was subjected to CO2 capture assessments. The comprehensive investigation encompassed an array of parameters including morphology, specific surface area, crystal defects, functional group identification, and CO2 capture efficiency. Employing a combination of FT-IR, XRD, Raman, BET, SEM, HR-TEM, and XPS techniques, the study revealed profound insights. Particularly notable was the observation that the MGO 0.250_KOH adsorbent exhibited an exceptional CO2 capture performance, leading to a significant enhancement of the CO2 capture capacity from 1.69 mmol g-1 to 2.35 mmol g-1 at standard conditions of 25 °C and 1 bar pressure. This performance enhancement was concomitant with an augmentation in surface area, elevating from 287.93 to 419.75 m2 g-1 (a nearly 1.5-fold increase compared to MGO 1.000 with a surface area of 287.93 m2 g-1). The monolithic adsorbent demonstrated a commendable production yield of 82.92%, along with an impressive regenerability of 98.80% at 100 °C. Additionally, adsorbent's proficiency in CO2 adsorption, rendering it a promising candidate for post-combustion CO2 capture applications. These findings collectively underscore the capacity adsorbents to significantly amplify CO2 capture capabilities. The viability of employing this strategy as an uncomplicated pre-treatment technique in various industrial sectors is a plausible prospect, given the study's outcomes.

Abstract
This paper presents the results of research on the impact of graphene paper on selected bacterial strains. Graphene oxide, from which graphene paper is made, has mainly bacteriostatic properties. Therefore, the main goal of this research was to determine the possibility of using graphene paper as a carrier of a medicinal substance. Studies of the degree of bacterial inhibition were performed on Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. Graphene paper was analyzed not only in the state of delivery but also after the incorporation of the antibiotics ciprofloxacin, cefazolin, and methicillin into its structures. In addition, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, contact angle, and microscopic analysis of bacteria on the surface of the examined graphene paper samples were also performed. Studies have shown that graphene paper with built-in ciprofloxacin had a bactericidal effect on the strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In contrast, methicillin, as well as cefazolin, deposited on graphene paper acted mainly locally. Studies have shown that graphene paper can be used as a carrier of selected medicinal substances.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO), an important derivative of graphene, with a variety of active oxygen-containing groups (hydroxyl, carboxyl and epoxy) on its surface is easy to be functionalized to obtain adsorbent with high adsorption capacity. To date, the adsorption behaviour of organic pollutants by functionalized GO adsorbents have been extensively studied, but there has been no systematic review regarding the functionalization method of GO for the purpose to remove organic pollutants from wastewater. The leading objective of this review is to (i) summarize the functionalization strategies of GO for organic pollutants removal (covalent functionalization and non-covalent functionalization), (ii) evaluate the adsorption performance of functional GO towards organic pollutants by taking aromatic pollutants and dyes as examples and (iii) discuss the regeneration property and adsorption mechanism of functional GO adsorbent. In addition, the problems of existing studies and future research directions are also identified briefly.

Abstract
Pesticides are a large group of pristine organic contaminants, which are widely discharged into environmental water due to agricultural activities. Hence, extraction, determination, and removal of pesticides from water resources are necessary for human health. In this study, novel adsorbent was developed based on three-dimensional magnetic graphene coated with gold nanoparticles (3D-MG@AuNPs) for extraction of chlorpyrifos, dicrotophos, fenitrothion, and piperophos as four specific organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) from wastewater and tap water samples. The proposed nanocomposite was characterized; FTIR and EDX are performed for the expected functional groups and elemental analysis, SEM showed the unique and spherical AuNPs are well dispersed over graphene sheets. In this investigation, the important parameters that have effect on the extraction efficiency, including the desorbing solvent, desorbing solvent volume, vortex time, the extraction time, adsorbent dosage, pH of sample solutions, and salt effect were evaluated. In conclusion, the measured amounts of the chosen OPPs were determined using the gas chromatography microelectron capture (μECD-GC) method. Limits of quantification (S/N ratio of 10) and detection (S/N ratio of 3) were attained at concentrations of 0.26-0.43 μg.L-1 and 0.08-0.14 μg.L-1, respectively. According to the results of the investigations, the synthesized 3D-MG@AuNPs did not require any complicated sample preparation methods; therefore, it is a very good choice for solid magnetic phase extraction studies.

Abstract
The removal of dyes from textile effluents utilizing advanced wastewater treatment methods with high efficiency and low cost has received substantial attention due to the rise in pollutants in water. The purpose of this work is to give a comprehensive analysis of the different treatments for removing chemical dyes from textile effluents. The capability and potential of conventional treatments for the degradation of dyeing compounds in aqueous media, as well as the influence of multiple parameters, such as the pH solution, initial dye concentration, and adsorbent dose, are presented in this study. This study is an overview of the scientific research literature on this topic, including nanoreductive and nanophotocatalyst processes, as well as nanoadsorbents and nanomembranes. For the purpose of treating sewage, the special properties of nanoparticles are currently being carefully researched. The ability of nanomaterials to remove organic matter, fungus, and viruses from wastewater is another benefit. Nanomaterials are employed in advanced oxidation techniques to clean wastewater. Additionally, because of their small dimensions, nanoparticles have a wide effective area of contact. Due to this, nanoparticles' adsorption and reactivity are powerful. The improvement of nanomaterial technology will be beneficial for the treatment of wastewater. This report also offers a thorough review of the distinctive properties of nanomaterials used in wastewater treatment, as well as their appropriate application and future possibilities. Since only a few types of nanomaterials have been produced, it is also important to focus on their technological feasibility in addition to their economic feasibility. According to this study, nanoparticles (NPs) have a significant adsorption area, efficient chemical reactions, and electrical conductivity that help treat wastewater effectively.

Abstract
Graphene has revolutionized the field of energy and storage sectors. Out of the total number of nosocomial infections diagnosed all around the world, the majority of the cases (around 70%) are found to be due to the medical device or assistance utilized while treating the patient. Combating these diseases is vital as they cause a nuisance to the patients and medical practitioners. Coatings of graphene and its derivatives hold the key to the formation of special surfaces that can rupture microbial cells using their sharp edges, ultimately leading to nuclear and cellular fragmentation. Their incorporation as a whole or as a part in the hospital apparel and the medical device has aided medical practitioners to combat many nosocomial diseases. Graphene is found to be highly virulent with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against nosocomial strains and biofilm formation. Their alternate mode of action like trapping and charge transfer has also been discussed well in the present review. The various combinational forms of graphene with its conjugates as a suitable agent to combat nosocomial infections and a potential coating for newer challenges like COVID-19 infections has also been assessed in the current study. Efficiency of graphene sheets has been found to be around 89% with a reaction time as less as 3 h. Polymers with graphene seem to have a higher potency against biofilm formation. When combined with graphene oxide, silver nanoparticles provide 99% activity against nosocomial pathogens. In conclusion, this review would be a guiding light for scientists working with graphene-based coatings to unfold the potentials of this marvelous commodity to tackle the present and future pandemics to come.

Abstract
Malachite green (MG) is widely used as a textile dye and an aquacultural biocide, and become a serious pollution of drink water, but effectually isolating and removing it from wastewater are still a challenge. Here we report a new strategy to prepare a carbon foam with tunable pore size distribution by a one-pot lava foam process. We find that uniform micropore size is beneficial to the formation of C-OH coordination on the pore surface, increasing MG adsorption rates via H+ ionization. As a result, carbon foam with uniform pore size distribution demonstrates an optimum MG removal efficiency of 1812 mg g-1 and a higher partition coefficient of 3.02 mg g-1 μM-1, which is twice that of carbon foams with irregular pore size distribution. The adsorption of MG onto these adsorbents was found to be an endothermic monolayer chemical adsorption process, and the Gibbs free energy of adsorption process was decreased obviously by regulating micropore size distribution. The experiment results are in good agreement with pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models. Revealed the pore size distribution was the critical factor of MG removal by carbon foam. It should be and inspiration for the design and development of highly efficiency adsorbents for dyes removal.

Abstract
Infectious diseases are major threat due to it being the main cause of enormous morbidity and mortality in the world. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria put an additional burden of infection leading to inferior treatment by the antibiotics of the latest generations. The emergence and spread of MDR bacteria (so-called "superbugs"), due to mutations in the bacteria and overuse of antibiotics, should be considered a serious concern. Recently, the rapid advancement of nanoscience and nanotechnology has produced several antimicrobial nanoparticles. It has been suggested that nanoparticles rely on very different mechanisms of antibacterial activity when compared to antibiotics. Graphene-based nanomaterials are fast emerging as "two-dimensional wonder materials" due to their unique structure and excellent mechanical, optical and electrical properties and have been exploited in electronics and other fields. Emerging trends show that their exceptional properties can be exploited for biomedical applications, especially in drug delivery and tissue engineering. Moreover, graphene derivatives were found to have in vitro antibacterial properties.

Abstract
A solar-driven electrochemical column (EC) was developed for cathodic sequestration remediation of heavy metals (HMs) and anodic electroporative inactivation of pathogenic bacteria (PB) with continuous flow capacity for sustainable production of drinking water from wastewater. The method produces "revitalized drinking water" by keeping its natural mineral nutrients boosted with dissolved oxygen. The EC was constructed with graphene oxide (GO) synthesized via photoassisted electrochemical oxidation of CF (PEGO-CF) as the cathode and phytoreduced GO (RPEGO-CF) as the anode. In the EC, effluent is passed upward through the microchannel of CF electrodes to obtain a higher contact time with water molecules, enabling deposition of HMs and oxidative inactivation of PB, collectively termed electroadsorptive dialysis (EAD). PEGO-CF and RPEGO-CF stacked inside the EC resulted in the increased surface area and thereby the removal efficiency. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced at the anode damaged the bacterial cell sheath, while the oxygen functional group and the cathodic negative potential had a concurrent effect in "sequestration" of HMs. Density functional calculations showed that PEGO might transfer an electron from the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) under applied negative potential leading to internal system crossing to the vacant d-orbitals of HMs, allowing for simultaneous coordination and deposition. The EC produced 313 L of revitalized water from wastewater augmented with 500 μg L-1 HMs and 107 CFU mL-1 pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus). Only a 3.6 J energy investment produced 1 L of revitalized water, which is ∼2000 times less than the usual energy consumption by electroporation and the lowest value obtained to date for bacterial inactivation with heavy metal removal. Laboratory-to-industrial scale-up calculations were performed for this water-purifying technology involving a water-energy nexus, promising high-efficiency bacterial inactivation, and HM remediation to obtain energy-efficient clean and revitalized water.

Abstract
This work provides a new perception toward the application of the graphenic-biopolymeric composites as a solid-bed for separation and purification of bioactive compounds. Graphene oxide nanocomposites with functionalized sheets by soluble and insoluble nanocomplexes of chitosan and Arabic gum, were successfully synthesized and employed for the adsorption and purification of crocin, a nutraceutical from saffron. The composites exhibited a nanostructured scaffold with a particle size of 10 nm and experienced an unprecedented increase in the surface area by about 300% and improved d-spacing sheets by 17%. The optimum conditions for crocin separation were temperature = 318 K, stirring rate = 300 rpm, initial concentration = 100 mg L-1 and pH = 6. Under these conditions, the nanocomposites separated 99.1% of crocin in an equilibrium time of 30 min. The adsorption data were best represented by Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. The thermodynamic studies indicated that the crocin adsorption on nanocomposites was an endothermic, spontaneous and physisorption process. The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed that produced nanocomposites adsorbed crocin efficiently from saffron extract with a purity similar to the standard sample. The possible interaction mechanisms between crocin and nanocomposites were electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
The excessive use of antibiotics has contributed to the rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and thus, new antibacterial compounds must be developed. Composite materials based on graphene and its derivatives doped with metallic and metallic oxide nanoparticles, particularly Ag, Cu, and Cu oxides, hold great promise. These materials are often modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to improve their pharmacokinetic behavior and their solubility in biological media. In this work, we performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the interaction between small Ag, Cu, and CuO clusters and several graphene-based materials. These materials include pristine graphene (PG) and pristine graphene nanoplatelets (PGN) as well as PEGylated graphene oxide (GO_PEG) and PEGylated graphene oxide nanoplatelets (GO-PEG_N). We calculated the adsorption energies, mean equilibrium distances between the nanoparticles and graphene surfaces, and mean square displacement (MSD) of the nanoclusters. The results show that PEGylation favors the adsorption of the clusters on the graphene surfaces, causing an increase in adsorption energies and a decrease in both distances and MSD values. The strengthening of the interaction could be crucial to obtain effective antibacterial compounds.

Abstract
Contamination of water with organic dyes is a major environmental concern as it causes serious life-threatening environmental problems. The present research was designed to evaluate the potential of three different natural inorganic clays (NICs) i.e., Pakistani bentonite clay (PB), bentonite purchased from Alfa Aesar (BT), and Turkish red mud (RM) for malachite green (MG) dye removal from an aqueous solution. Various analytical techniques, namely X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area measurement (BET), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), were used to investigate the physicochemical properties of the NICs samples. The effect of adsorption operational parameters such as contact time, aqueous phase pH, dye concentration, and amount of NICs on the adsorption behavior of MG onto NICs samples were investigated under the batch adsorption system. The equilibrium and kinetic inspection reflected the best description of MG adsorption behavior by the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-first-order kinetic model, respectively. The results indicated that the adsorption was favorable at higher pH. The maximum adsorption capacities calculated by Langmuir isotherm for PB, BT, and RM were found to be 243.90 mg/g, 188.68 mg/g, and 172.41 mg/g, respectively. It can be concluded that natural inorganic clays with a higher surface area can be used as an effective adsorbent material to remove the MG dye from an aqueous solution.

Abstract
A peculiar 3D graphene-based architecture, i.e., partial reduced-Graphene Oxide Aerogel Microspheres (prGOAM), having a dandelion-like morphology with divergent microchannels to implement innovative electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is investigated in this paper. prGOAM was used as a scaffold to incorporate exfoliated transition metals dichalcogenide (TMDC) nanosheets, and the final hybrid materials have been tested for HER and photo-enhanced HER. The aim was to create a hybrid material where electronic contacts among the two pristine materials are established in a 3D architecture, which might increase the final HER activity while maintaining accessible the TMDC catalytic sites. The adopted bottom-up approach, based on combining electrospraying with freeze-casting techniques, successfully provides a route to prepare TMDC/prGOAM hybrid systems where the dandelion-like morphology is retained. Interestingly, the microspherical morphology is also maintained in the tested electrode and after the electrocatalytic experiments, as demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy images. Comparing the HER activity of the TMDC/prGOAM hybrid systems with that of TMDC/partially reduced-Graphene Oxide (prGO) and TMDC/Vulcan was evidenced in the role of the divergent microchannels present in the 3D architecture. HER photoelectron catalytic (PEC) tests have been carried out and demonstrated an interesting increase in HER performance.

Abstract
Nanoscopic modifications leading to multi-dimensional graphene structures are known to significantly influence their candidature for several applications including catalysis, energy storage, molecular sensing and most significantly adsorption and remediation of harmful materials such as dyes. The present work attempts to identify the key trajectories that connect the structural qualification with a chosen application, viz., the interactive forces in dye remediation. Various physico-chemically Modified Graphene Nanostructures (MGNs) such as 2 dimensional Graphite, Graphene Oxide (GO), reduced GO (rGO), holey rGO, and 3 dimensional GO hydrogel and Holey GO hydrogel are chosen and synthesised herein. These represent varieties of physicochemical features with respect to their dimensionality, surface features such as oxygen functionality, nanoscopic holes etc., that contribute to their characteristic overall surface interactions. Methylene Blue (MB), a popular industrial effluent posing major environmental concern is chosen to be a probe adsorbate in this case study. An exclusive real time in-situ UV visible spectral experiment provides the revealing reasons behind the outstanding performance of 2D GO sheets with an adsorption capacity of greater than 92 % even at high MB concentrations (>2000 ppm). A complex dependency of various factors such as surface oxygen, morphology, nanoporosity etc. on the unique overall interaction with an adsorbent such as MB by all these adsorbates is demonstrated using experimental and DFT based computational studies. Electrostatics and hydrogen bonding are understood to be the two dominant forces driving the MB adsorption on the best performing GO here.

Abstract
A novel three-dimensional (3D) magnetic bacterial cellulose nanofiber/graphene oxide polymer aerogel (MBCNF/GOPA) composed of bacterial cellulose nanofibers (BCNFs), Fe3O4 nanoparticles, graphene oxide (GO) nano-sheets, and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was developed by combining a facile filler-loaded networks method with a vacuum freeze-drying process for the removal of malachite green (MG) dye from aqueous solution. The influence of various factors on adsorption, including initial dye concentration, adsorbent dosage, contact time, temperature, and pH of dye solution, was then investigated. The adsorbent preserved a high adsorption capacity over a wide range of pH conditions. Moreover, the adsorption isotherms data fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 270.27 mg g-1. Adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order model, and the thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption of MG dye was feasible and endothermic in nature and occurred spontaneously. Therefore, owing to its demonstrated properties such as 3D interconnected porous structure, lightweight, large specific surface area, superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature, excellent adsorbent efficiency (93% removal) and also its simple and eco-friendly synthesis process, MBCNF/GOPA could be considered a promising candidate for removing cationic dye pollutants from aqueous solution, which can easily be collected from aqueous solution by a small magnet. MBCNF/GOPA also showed favorable reusability for MG removal in wastewater treatment, and its application in different water samples for the removal of MG dye molecules from "real" samples was successfully performed.

Abstract
A novel hierarchical stiff carbon foam (HSCF) was successfully prepared via a carbothermal reduction between the carbon foam with two-level pore structure and the Al2O3 from aluminum sulfate, and used as a bulk adsorbent for removing malachite green (MG) dye. The structures of the HSCF were characterized using SEM, XRD, FTIR, BET, and XPS, and the effects of adsorption condition on the MG removal were studied through batch adsorption experiments. Results show that large-sized and complex-shaped HSCF can be easily fabricated with a high compression strength of 1.58 MPa at a low bulk density (0.10 g cm-3). The HSCF possesses a fluffy graphene-like nanosheet surface with a mesoporous structure and meanwhile exhibits good hydrophilicity loaded with aluminum hydroxide. The experimental maximum adsorption capacity for MG reaches 425.2 mg g-1 with a relatively high partition coefficient of 9.38 mg g-1 μM-1 at the optimal condition. The experimental data are in good agreement with Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and meanwhile, the adsorption of MG onto the HSCF is a spontaneous and endothermic process. Also, the HSCF still exhibits good adsorption ability and stability after seven regeneration cycles.

Abstract
Bacteria mediated infections may cause various acute or chronic illnesses and antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria has become a serious health problem around the world due to their excessive use or misuse. Replacement of existing antibacterial agents with a novel and efficient alternative is the immediate demand to alleviate this problem. Graphene-based materials have been exquisitely studied because of their remarkable bactericidal activity on a wide range of bacteria. Graphene-based materials provide advantages of easy preparation, renewable, unique catalytic properties, and exceptional physical properties such as a large specific surface area and mechanical strength. However, several queries related to the mechanism of action, significance of size and composition toward bacterial activity, toxicity criteria, and other issues are needed to be addressed. This review summarizes the recent efforts that have been made so far toward the development of graphene-based antibacterial materials to face current challenges to combat against the bacterial targets. This review describes the inherent antibacterial activity of graphene-family and recent advances that have been made on graphene-based antibacterial materials covering the functionalization with silver nanoparticles, other metal ions/oxides nanoparticles, polymers, antibiotics, and enzymes along with their multicomponent functionalization. Furthermore, the review describes the biosafety of the graphene-based antibacterial materials. It is hoped that this review will provide valuable current insight and excite new ideas for the further development of safe and efficient graphene-based antibacterial materials.

Abstract
The remediation of wastewater requires treatment technologies which are robust, efficient, simple to operate and affordable such as adsorption. Lately, three-dimensional (3D) graphene based materials have attracted significant attention as effective adsorbents for wastewater treatment. The intrinsic properties of 3D graphene structure such as large surface area and interconnected porous structure can facilitate the transport of pollutants into the 3D network and provide abundant active sites for trapping the pollutants. For the synthesis of 3D graphene structure, ice-templating is commonly practiced due to its facile steps, cost effectiveness and high scalability potential. This review covers the ice-templating fabrication technique for 3D graphene based materials and their application as adsorbents in eliminating dyes and heavy metals from aqueous media. The assembly mechanisms of the ice-templating fsynthesis are comprehensively discussed. Further discussion on the fundamental principles, critical process parameters and characteristics of ice-templated 3D graphene structures is also included. A thorough review on the mechanisms for batch adsorption of dyes and heavy metals is presented based on the structures and properties of the 3D graphene materials. The review further evaluates the dynamic adsorption in packed columns and the regeneration of 3D graphene based materials.

Abstract
Three-dimensional macrostructures (3DMs) of graphene and graphene oxide are being developed for fast and efficient removal of contaminants from water and air. The large specific surface area, versatile surface chemistry and exceptional mechanical properties of graphene-based nanosheets enable the formation of robust and high-performance 3DMs such as sponges, membranes, beads and fibres. However, little is known about the relationship between the materials properties of graphene-based 3DMs and their environmental performance. In this Review, we summarize the self-assembly and environmental applications of graphene-based 3DMs in removing contaminants from water and air. We also develop the critical link between the materials properties of 3DMs and their environmental performance, and identify the key parameters that influence their capacities for contaminant removal.

Abstract
Presently, clinical nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology have impressively demanded the generation of new organic/inorganic analogues of graphene (as one of the intriguing biomedical research targets) for stem-cell-based tissue engineering. Among different shapes of graphene, three-dimensional (3D) graphene foams (GFs) are highly promising candidates to provide conditions for mimicking in vivo environments, affording effective cell attachment, proliferation,and differentiation due to their unique properties. These include the highest biocompatibility among nanostructures, high surface-to-volume ratio, 3D porous structure (to provide a homogeneous/isotropic growth of tissues), highly favorable mechanical characteristics, and rapid mass and electron transport kinetics (which are required for chemical/physical stimulation of differentiated cells). This review aims to describe recent and rapid advances in the fabrication of 3D GFs, together with their use in tissue engineering and regenerative nanomedicine applications. Moreover, we have summarized a broad range of recent studies about the behaviors, biocompatibility/toxicity,and biodegradability of these materials, both in vitro and in vivo. Finally, the highlights and challenges of these 3D porous structures, compared to the current polymeric scaffold competitors, are discussed.

Abstract
We report a method to synthesize a palladium-functionalized porous graphene xerogel structure. A graphene xerogel nanocomposite with a three-dimensional microstructure was obtained by chemical reduction of an aqueous dispersion of graphene oxide at mild temperature. After the graphene hydrogel has been placed in a K2PdCl4 solution, the spontaneous redox reaction between the reduced graphene and Pd2+ takes place, leading to the formation of nanohybrid materials consisting of a graphene porous matrix decorated with Pd nanoparticles. The final porosity of the material was tuned through drying the graphene hydrogel by solvent evaporation. The palladium functionalized porous graphene xerogels were successfully used for the catalytic reduction of Rhodamine 6G.

Abstract
Graphene-based materials have become very popular bionanotechnological instruments in the last few years. Since 2010, the graphene family materials have been recognized as worthy of attention due to its antimicrobial properties. Functionalization of graphene (or rather graphene oxide) surface creates the possibilities to obtain efficient antimicrobial agents. In this review, progress and advances in this field in the last few years are described and discussed. Special attention is devoted to materials based on graphene oxide in which specifically selected components significantly modify biological activity of this carbon structure. Short introduction concerns the physicochemical properties of the graphene family materials. In the section on antimicrobial properties, proposed mechanisms of activity against microorganisms are given showing enhanced action of nanocomposites also under light irradiation (photoinduced activity). Another important feature, i.e. toxicity against eukaryotic cells, is presented with up-to-date data. Taking into account all the information on the properties of the described materials and usefulness of the graphene family as antimicrobial agents, hopes and fears concerning their application are discussed. Finally, some examples of promising usage in medicine and other fields, e.g. in phytobiology and water remediation, are shown.

Abstract
Graphene materials have unique structures and outstanding thermal, optical, mechanical and electronic properties. In the last decade, these materials have attracted substantial interest in the field of nanomaterials, with applications ranging from biosensors to biomedicine. Among these applications, great advances have been made in the field of antibacterial agents. Here, recent advancements in the use of graphene and its derivatives as antibacterial agents are reviewed. Graphene is used in three forms: the pristine form; mixed with other antibacterial agents, such as Ag and chitosan; or with a base material, such as poly (N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) and poly (lactic acid) (PLA). The main mechanisms proposed to explain the antibacterial behaviors of graphene and its derivatives are the membrane stress hypothesis, the oxidative stress hypothesis, the entrapment hypothesis, the electron transfer hypothesis and the photothermal hypothesis. This review describes contributions to improving these promising materials for antibacterial applications.
