Concluding remarks: Chemistry of 2-dimensional materials: beyond graphene

Abstract

Since graphene was exfoliated in 2004, two-dimensional (2D) materials have received great attention due to their physical and chemical properties associated to their nanosized thickness and the correlated quantum size...

Recent trends in macromolecule-conjugated hybrid quantum dots for cancer theranostic applications

“… 26 A steady multifaceted complex of 2-dimensional nano-graphene oxide (GO) and 0-dimensional graphene quantum dots (GQD) was developed by electrostatic layer-by-layer assembly through a polyethylene imine bridge (GO-PEI-GQDs). 27 Furthermore, mono- and complex-equivalents of the GO-PEI-GQDs complex were investigated for their bioimaging, photothermal, and oxidative stress properties in breast cancer cells, such as MDA-MB-231. 28 These nanoparticles were used for cell imaging and as a photothermal-mediated anti-cancer therapeutic tool.…”
