Immunosensors which display high sensitivity and selectivity are of utmost importance to the biomedical field. Graphene is a material which has immense potential for the fabrication of immunosensors. For the first time, we evaluate the immunosensing capabilities of various graphene surfaces in this work. We propose a simple and label-free electrochemical impedimetric immunosensor for immunoglob...

Noble metal nanoparticles are directly and homogeneously grown onto graphene-oxide (GO) sheets in oleylamine. After the oleylamine is removed, the GO sheets are exfoliated by the nanoparticle pillars to further form hierarchical GO nanostructures with molecule accessible nanopores. With specific sensing-groups modified, the porous-layered nanostructure can be constructed onto resonant microcant...

This work describes a rationalization of the interactions between two fully characterized graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) and a set of significant target molecules. The GNRs were carefully synthesized by unzipping multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to yield graphene oxide nanoribbons (GNRox) containing 44 wt.% oxygen. The GNRox were reduced to yield reduced graphene oxide nanoribbons (GNRred) c...

In article number 2008505, Farid Akhtar and Zhejian Cao design a novel porous strontium chloride (SrCl2) scaffolded by graphene networks as ammonia carriers. The optimized SrCl2-reduced oxide (rGO) composite demonstrates extraordinary structural stability rapid kinetics for absorption desorption, offering robust structure selective catalytic reduction systems potential hydrogen storage applicat...

We demonstrate a facile, one-step, protein-directed approach to preparing a new functional reduced graphene oxide via simultaneous reduction and surface functionalization of graphene oxide sheets with herceptin and show its potential application as a novel biological imaging agent.

The excellent electrical, optical and mechanical properties of graphene have driven the search to find methods for its large-scale production, but established procedures (such as mechanical exfoliation or chemical vapour deposition) are not ideal for the manufacture of processable graphene sheets. An alternative method is the reduction of graphene oxide, a material that shares the same atomical...

3D annealed SnO2/graphene sheet foams (ASGFs) are synthesized by in situ self-assembly of graphene sheets prepared by mild chemical reduction. L-ascorbyl acid is used to effectively reduce the SnO2 nanoparticles/graphene oxide colloidal solution and form the 3D conductive graphene networks. The annealing treatment contributes to the formation of the Sn-O-C bonds between the SnO2 nanoparticles a...
