Abstract:Single walled carbon nanotubes and activated carbon intercalated N-doped graphene hybrid material was successfully fabricated and exhibited high performance as a supercapacitor.
“…Among these, carbon-based micro-supercapacitors have been extensively studied because of their wide pore size distribution, excellent conductivity, large surface area, as well as high cycle stability of carbon electrode materials [ 45 , 217 , 218 , 219 , 220 , 221 , 222 , 223 , 224 ]. The majority of carbon electrode materials include carbon fibers (CFs), graphene, CNTs, carbon dots, and GQDs [ 225 , 226 , 227 , 228 ].…”

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are considerably a new member of the carbon family and shine amongst other members, thanks to their superior electrochemical, optical, and structural properties as well as biocompatibility features that enable us to engage them in various bioengineering purposes. Especially, the quantum confinement and edge effects are giving GQDs their tremendous character, while their heteroatom doping attributes enable us to specifically and meritoriously tune their prospective characteristics for innumerable operations. Considering the substantial role offered by GQDs in the area of biomedicine and nanoscience, through this review paper, we primarily focus on their applications in bio-imaging, micro-supercapacitors, as well as in therapy development. The size-dependent aspects, functionalization, and particular utilization of the GQDs are discussed in detail with respect to their distinct nano-bio-technological applications.

“…Its excellent performance makes graphene suitable for use in various fields, such as photocatalysis, capacitors, lithium‐ion batteries, sensors. [19, 20] However, being a fairly recently developed nanomaterial, it has some limitations such as curled edges, easy agglomeration, non‐dispersion, and a low reactivity . Chemical doping has proved to be an effective inorganic chemical method to improve its electrochemical properties.…”
A high‐sensitivity carcinoembryonic antigen immunosensor was successfully prepared via a one‐step hydrothermal method, wherein nitrogen‐doped graphene oxide (Nr GO) loaded Ag and Co3O4 nanomaterials were synthesized using ammonia as the nitrogen source. Doping nitrogen atoms into the graphene structure forms a new type of N‐type semiconductor with an increased number of graphene layers and more active sites for bonding with chemicals, thereby providing excellent in biocompatibility and good electrical conductivity. The electrical signal of the sensor is further amplified due to the good catalytic effect of Co3O4 and Ag NPs on H2O2. The signal probe requires neither pretreatment nor acid treatment, and can be easy to loaded with metal‐immobilized antibodies, which greatly simplifies the detection step not shorten the detection time. The sensor has good sensitivity to detecting carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and can easily operate, and requires mild reaction conditions. Under optimal experimental conditions, the linear range of the sensor is 0.001–200 ng ⋅ mL−1, the detection limit is 0.18 pg ⋅ mL−1, and the linear correlation coefficient is 0.991, which can be used for CEA determination of the actual sample.
