This paper gives a comprehensive review about the most recent progress in graphene and graphene oxide based electrochemical sensors and biosensors.  Graphene, emerging as a true 2-dimensional material, has received increasing attention due to its unique physicochemical properties (high surface area, excellent conductivity, high mechanical strength, and ease of functionalization and mass product...

In this study, an efficient and facile technique for preparing graphene oxide in suspension and powder forms was presented based on a modification on Hummers' method followed by an additional ultrasonic process. The method involved the provision of graphene oxide from graphite by reaction of potassium permanganate and sulfuric acid with stabilizing the medium complex. Furthermore, this study ev...

Low hydrophilicity of graphene is one of the major obstacles for biomaterials application. To create some hydrophilic groups on graphene is addressed this issue. Herein, COOH+ ion implantation modified graphene (COOH+/graphene) and COOH functionalized graphene were designed by physical ion implantation and chemical methods, respectively. The structure and surface properties of COOH+/graphene an...

in this paper, we present a simple method for preparation of graphene-zno nanocomposites (g-zno). the method is based on thermal treatment of the graphene oxide (go)/zno paste which reduces the graphene oxide into the graphene and leads to the formation of the g-zno nanocomposite. the structure, morphology and optical properties of synthesized nanocomposites are characterized with xrd, fesem, f...

In this paper, photodetection properties of a Graphene-based device at the third telecommunication window have been reported. The structure of the device is a Graphene-silicon Schottky junction which has been simulated in the form of an infrared photodetector. Graphene has specific electrical and optical properties which makes this material a good candidate for optoelectronic applications. Phot...

In the present study, the effect of various weight fractions of graphene nanoplatelet (GPL) on flexural fatigue behavior of epoxy polymer has been investigated at room temperature and generally the temperature was monitored on the surface of specimen during each test. The flexural stiffness of grapheme nano-platelet/epoxy nanocomposites at 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5 wt. % as a main effective parameter o...

this paper discusses the use of box behnken design (bbd) approach to plan the experiments for turning the yield of cvd, thickness and layer number of graphene sheets with an overall objective of optimizing the process to provide higher graphene production volume, fewer layers and thinness structure of graphene. bbd is having the maximum efficiency for an experiment involving four factors such a...

the nonlocal nonlinear buckling of a double layer graphene sheet (dlgs) covered by zinc oxide (zno) piezoelectric layers is investigated in this study. the surrounding circumstances of the system are considered as a pasternak foundation including spring constants and a shear layer. graphene sheets are subjected to longitudinal magnetic field and biaxial forces. on the other hand, the zno piezoe...

Water soluble graphene with various chemical- and biofunctionalities is essential for their different applications. However, exfoliated graphenes are insoluble in water and water soluble graphene oxide precipitate if they are chemically reduced to graphene. We have developed a polyacrylate coating method for graphene oxide and then chemically reduced it into graphene. We found that polyacrylate...
