AI Article Synopsis
Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are a new type of graphene-based material with unique properties due to their limited width and varied edge configurations, making them more versatile than regular graphene.
The review discusses the electrical and chemical properties of GNRs and outlines preparation methods, including top-down and bottom-up strategies.
It also highlights GNRs' applications in biosensing and biomedicine, such as in biosensors, drug delivery, and photothermal therapy, while addressing challenges and future possibilities in their synthesis and use.
Article Abstract
In recent years, a new type of quasi-one-dimensional graphene-based material, graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), has attracted increasing attention. The limited domain width and rich edge configurations of GNRs endow them with unique properties and wide applications in comparison to two-dimensional graphene. This review article mainly focuses on the electrical, chemical and other properties of GNRs, and further introduces the typical preparation methods of GNRs, including top-down and bottom-up strategies. Then, their biosensing and biomedical applications are highlighted in detail, such as biosensors, photothermal therapy, drug delivery, etc. Finally, the challenges and future prospects in the synthesis and application of functionalized GNRs are discussed. It is expected that GNRs will have significant practical use in biomedical applications in the future.
