Biosynthesis of Graphene and Investigation of Antibacterial Activity of Graphene-parthenium hysterophorous Nanocomposite

Abstract

There is a great interest to use carbon-based material like graphene and graphene oxide in biomedical applications due to its flexibility to be functionalized with bio-active molecules. Herein, graphene and graphene-based nanocomposites were biosynthesized by liquid-phase exfoliation of graphite using aqueous extract of Parthenium hysterophorous (P-H) as a surfactant. A set of five thin film samples of HIGHLIGHTS  Biosynthesis of graphene using extract of Parthenium hysterophorous (P-H) as surfactant.

Zinc Cobalt Sulfide/Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite for High‐Performance Asymmetric Supercapacitor: A Microwave‐Assisted Synthesis

“…[21][22][23][24] In this regard, graphene is a promising choice and a great deal of research has already been reported. [25,26] Graphene has excellent conductivity, large surface area, long-term stability, and great processing flexibility arising from the arrangement of carbon atoms in a hexagonal framework. [27,28] However, the main concerns here are the self-agglomeration and the restacking of its nanolayers due to their van der Waals force of attraction and Π-Π interaction.…”
