The development of graphene (G) substrates without damage on the sp network allows to tune the interactions with plasmonic noble metal surfaces to finally enhance surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) effect. Here, we describe a new graphene/gold nanocomposite obtained by loading gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), produced by pulsed laser ablation in liquids (PLAL), on a new nitrogen-doped graphene platform (G-NH). The graphene platform was synthesized by direct delamination and chemical functionalization of graphite flakes with 4-methyl-2--nitrophenyl oxazolone, followed by reduction of -nitrophenyl groups. Finally, the G-NH/Au SERS platform was prepared by using the conventional aerography spraying technique. SERS properties of G-NH/Au were tested using Rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) and Dopamine (DA) as molecular probes. Raman features of Rh6G and DA are still detectable for concentration values down to 1 × 10 M and 1 × 10 M respectively.

In this study, the first CA nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning under optimal conditions: flow rate of 0.5 ml/h, a voltage of 20 kV, electrospinning distance of 15 cm, and an internal temperature of 25 °C, and humidity of 38%. The used Graphene/gold nanoparticles for CA performance improvement were examined by TGA, XRD, and SEM analysis.

We report a label-free electrochemical aptamer-based biosensor for the detection of human prostate-specific antigen (PSA). The thiolate DNA aptamer against PSA was conjugated to the reduced graphene oxide/Au (RGO-Au) nanocomposite through the self-assembly of Au-S groups. Owing to the large volume to surface ratio, the RGO-Au nanocomposite provides a large surface for aptamer loading.

This paper proposes a new type of solid-contact layer based on graphene/gold nanoparticles for ion-selective electrodes. A novel approach to preparing the material for intermediate layer by modifying the graphene flakes by gold nanoparticles is presented. With this approach, we observed a large surface area of material and in consequence high electrical capacitance of electrodes.

Testing gluten content in food, before it reaches the consumer, becomes a major challenge where cross-contamination during processing and transportation is a very common occurrence. In this study, a microfluidic electrochemical aptasensing system for the detection of gliadin has been proposed. The fabrication of the sensor involves its modification by using a combination of 2D nanomaterial molybdenum disulfide (MoS)/graphene with the addition of gold (Au) nanoparticles.
