The high capacity, excellent cyclability, and good rate capability of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) anchored with Bi O nanocomposite for sodium-ion batteries is reported. A simple reduction method is adapted to deposit spherical Bi O nanoparticles on the surface of rGO sheets. The surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) plays a major role in controlling the morphology of the Bi O nanoparticles. This Bi O @rGO nanocomposite has the advantages of high reversible capacity with a capacity retention (at high rate) of 70.2 % after 200 cycles at a current density of 350 mA g . This superior performance can be attributed to the fact that rGO sheets hamper the volume expansion of Bi O nanoparticles and result in faster diffusion of Na ions (diffusion coefficient: 5.12×10 cm s ) and smaller internal resistance (84.17 Ω) compared with pristine Bi O nanoparticles. The results suggest that anchoring rGO sheets with metal oxides is one of the simplest ways to enhance the electrochemical performance of sodium-ion batteries.

Introduction: This article describes the invention of graphene oxide (GO) or reduced graphene oxide (rGO) functionalised with 2-methoxy estradiol. The presence of polar hydroxyl groups enables the binding of 2-ME to GO/rGO through hydrogen bonds with epoxy and hydroxyl groups located on the surface and carbonyl and carboxyl groups located at the edges of graphene flake sheets.
Methods: The patented method of producing the subject of the invention and the research results regarding its anticancer effectiveness via cytotoxicity in an in vivo model (against A375 melanoma and 143B osteosarcoma cells) are described.

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.

High throughput intracellular delivery of biological macromolecules is crucial for cell engineering, gene expression, therapeutics, diagnostics, and clinical studies; however, most existing techniques are either contact-based or have throughput limitations. Herein, we report a light-activated, contactless, high throughput photoporation method for highly efficient and viable cell transfection of more than a million cells within a minute. We fabricated reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanoflakes that was mixed with a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nanocomposite thin sheet with an area of 3 cm and a thickness of ∼600 μm.
