In this study, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and graphene oxide nanoribbons (GONRs) are used to fabricate a composite membrane that exhibits ultrafast water permeance (312.8 L m h bar) and precise molecular separation (molecular weight cutoff: 269 Da), which surpass the upper bound of previously reported polymer and graphene-based nanofiltration membranes. As two-dimensional GONR exhibits a width on the scale of nanometers, its nanochannels can be enlarged without hindering the stacking of rGO.

Article Synopsis
- Recent research highlights the effectiveness of green synthesis technologies for creating nanomaterials, seen as cost-effective and eco-friendly alternatives.
- This study introduces a straightforward method for producing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using an aqueous extract, which also serves to functionalize the nanoparticles with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU).
- The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), and their antibacterial effectiveness was evaluated through minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) tests.
