Objective: The objective of our study was to explore the possible graphene impact on microorganism growth as well as on laboratory animal overall condition. The experiments applied samples of graphene three concentrations and two 15 × 15 mm quartz glasses one of which carrying deposited graphene lattice. We have also used 5% blood agar, thioglycollate broth, bacterial suspensions of standard turbidity containing pure clinical isolate of microorganisms. Three white male 6-month-old laboratory rats were used to estimate the graphene impact on the overall animal condition.
Results: Graphene did not contain any microorganisms, does not destroy erythrocytes placed within the artificial nutritional medium, graphene lattice did not add any properties to the quartz glasses which could allow the Proteus spread all over its surface. It was also established that graphene did not show any native antibacterial impact. No significant reaction was noticed in animals after graphene administration to laboratory rats neither at the injection spot nor at the overall level.
Conclusion: Our data confirm the applicability of graphene both in scientific and practical biomedical purposes.

GO/Co-MOF/PPy-350 (GPC-350) was synthesized by in situ growth of ultrafine Co-MOF on graphene oxide (GO), followed by encapsulation with polypyrrole (PPy) and calcination at 350.0℃. Meanwhile, MoS-MWCNTs (MoS-CNTs) were produced via the in situ synthesis of MoS within multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs).

We have conducted a systematic study employing density functional theory (DFT) and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) to explore the gas sensing capabilities of nitrogen-doped single vacancy graphene quantum dots (SV/3N) decorated with transition metals (TM = Mn, Co, Cu). We have studied the interactions between TM@SV/3N and four different target gases (AsH, NH, PH, and HS) through the computation of adsorption energies, charge transfer, noncovalent interaction, density of states, band gap, and work function for 12 distinct adsorption systems. Our comprehensive analysis included an in-depth assessment of sensors' stability, sensitivity, selectivity, and reusability for practical applications.

The nonlinear optical response in graphene is finding increasing applications in nanophotonic devices. The activation and enhancement of second harmonic generation (SHG) in graphene, which is generally forbidden in monolayer and AB-stacked bilayer graphene due to their centrosymmetry, is of urgent need for nanophotonic applications. Here, we present a comprehensive study of SHG performance of twisted multilayer graphene structures based on stacking engineering.

Humidity sensors have been widely used to monitor humidity in daily life, agriculture fields, and so on. However, conventional sensors are not suitable for wearable devices because of their large dimensions and rigid substrates. Hence, we report a fast response, highly sensitive, and fully flexible humidity sensor on a PI substrate based on the composite material of reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/MoS, with a response time of 0.

This study explores the thermal conductivity and viscosity of water-based nanofluids containing silicon dioxide, graphene oxide, titanium dioxide, and their hybrids across various concentrations (0 to 1 vol%) and temperatures (30 to 60 °C). The nanofluids, characterized using multiple methods, exhibited increased viscosity and thermal conductivity compared to water, with hybrid nanofluids showing superior performance. Graphene oxide nanofluids displayed the highest thermal conductivity and viscosity ratios, with increases of 52% and 177% at 60 °C and 30 °C, respectively, for a concentration of 1 vol% compared to base fluid.
