Transforming the structural and functional properties of carbon nanostructures are highly beneficial for healthcare diagnostics. This research demonstrates the functionalization of opto-electrochemically active ruthenium bipyridine complex (Ru(II)) on the surface of graphene oxide (GO), enabling a dual-functional immunoprobe for the detection of non-structural 1 (NS1) protein, a dengue biomarker. Structural investigations reveals that Ru(II) has intermolecular bonding with functional groups of GO. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectral readouts display the changes in the work function and ionization energy of GO, supporting the functionalization of Ru(II). Bio-affinity layers of protein-G (Pro-G) at GO-Ru(II) electrode interface promotes the localization of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) selective for binding the epitopes of NS1 antigen. The chronoamperometric and fluorescence quenching-based immunoassays showed a linear response with a lowest detection limit of 0.38 and 0.48 ng/mL, respectively. Under optimal condition, the developed immunosensor studied to have retained stability/sensitivity toward NS1 without impact from interferents. The dual functional immuno-bioprobe translated from GO-Ru(II) conjugated nanostructures offers new insights for further studies in on-site diagnosis.

Thermally driven membrane desalination processes have garnered significant interest for their potential in the treatment of hypersaline wastewater. However, achieving high rejection rates for volatiles while maintaining a high water flux remains a considerable challenge. Herein, we propose a thermo-osmosis-evaporation (TOE) system that utilizes molecular intercalation-regulated graphene oxide (GO) as the thermo-osmotic selective permeation layer, positioned on a hydrophobic poly(vinylidene fluoride) fibrous membrane serving as the thermo-evaporation layer.

The structural alterations in the constituent materials of nanocomposites such as graphene nanocomposites typically induce changes in their properties including mechanical, electrical, and optical properties. Therefore, by altering the preparation conditions of nanocomposites and investigating their responsiveness to basic biomolecules (such as proteins), it is possible to explore the application potentials of the composites and guide development of new nanocomposite preparation. In this study, different composites of graphene oxide and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs/GO) were obtained by varying the volumes of reducing agents used in the one-pot hydrothermal method.

Due to the global demands on carbon neutralization, CO separation membranes, particularly those based on two-dimensional (2D) materials, have attracted increasing attention. However, recent works have focused on the chemical decoration of membranes to realize the selective transport, leading to the compromised stability in the presence of moisture. Herein, we develop a series of 2D capillaries based on layered double hydroxide (LDH), graphene oxide, and vermiculite to enhance the oversaturation of CO in the confined water for promoting the membrane permselectivity.

Neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by the progressive deterioration of neuronal function and structure, pose significant global public health and economic challenges. Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a key regulator of neuroplasticity and neuronal survival, has emerged as a critical biomarker for various neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assays, face limitations in terms of sensitivity, stability, reproducibility, and cost-effectiveness.

Background: Pathogenic bacteria are widespread in nature and can cause infections and various complications, thereby posing a severe risk to public health. Therefore, simple, rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective methods must be developed to detect pathogenic bacteria. Biosensors are prominent platforms for detecting pathogenic bacteria owing to their high sensitivity, specificity, repeatability, and stability.
