We report here an efficient approach to enhance the performance of biosensing platform based on graphene or graphene derivate. Initially, graphene oxides (GO) nanosheets were reduced and surface functionalized by one-step oxidative polymerization of dopamine in basic solution at environment friendly condition to obtain the polydopamine (Pdop) modified reduced graphene oxides (PDRGO). The bioinspired surface was further used as a support to anchor active gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The morphology and structure of the as-prepared AuNPs/PDRGO nanocomposite were investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Electrochemical studies demonstrate that the as-prepared AuNPs/PDRGO hybrid materials possess excellent electrochemical properties and electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of NADH at low potential (0.1 V vs. SCE) with the fast response (15s) and the broad linear range (5.0 × 10(-8)-4.2 × 10(-5)M). Thus, this AuNPs/PDRGO nanocomposite can be further used to fabricate a sensitive alcohol biosensor using alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), by simply incorporating the specific enzyme within the composite matrix with the aid of chitosan (Chit).

Accurate quantification of neonicotinoid insecticides is pivotal to ensure environmental safety by examining and mitigating their potential harmful effects on pollinators and aquatic ecosystems. In this scenario, detection of neonicotinoid insecticide, thiamethoxam (TMX), is significant for safeguarding ecological balance and human health. Hence, we developed a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for detection of TMX in environmental samples, utilizing a novel nanocomposite with superior electrocatalytic properties and integrating an optimized neural network for accurate data analysis.

Graphene oxide (GO) has been extensively studied for its diverse biomedical applications, including drug delivery, imaging, and tissue engineering. Silymarin, as a flavonoid complex derived from the milk thistle plant, has recently shown potential health benefits, particularly concerning reproductive health. This study aims to evaluate the effects of GO and silymarin supplementation, both individually and in combination, on the characteristics of frozen-thawed ram sperm.

NbO has become a focus of research for its suitability as an anode material in sodium ion capacitors (SICs), due to its open ionic channels. The integration of NbO with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is known to boost its electrical conductivity. However, the sluggish interfacial charge transfer kinetics and interface collapse of NbO/rGO pose challenges to its rate capability and durability.

Intimately coupled photocatalytic biodegradation (ICPB) has been recently developed as an efficient wastewater treatment technique, particularly for removing persistent organic pollutants. However, photocatalyst/biofilm interaction in terms of photoelectron transfer and its effect on the overall performance of ICPB has not been explored. To investigate these points, interface-engineered composites of bismuth vanadate and reduced graphene oxide with low degree (BiVO/rGO-LC) and high degree of their contact (BiVO/rGO-HC) were fabricated and applied for ICPB.

The clogging of sieving pores due to the complex sewage system of mixed molecules and nanoparticles of different scales is a difficulty in the membrane-based separation process. When the holes are reduced to the point where they can repel small molecules in the contaminants, large-molecule contaminants can adsorb to the holes and decrease the permeability. A similar question remains in new promising graphene oxide (GO) membranes.
