“…Pure graphene materials possess low binding energy towards lithium-ion and high energy barrier for the penetration of ions through the graphene sheet. Therefore, they are not appropriate for lithium-ion storage [150][151][152]. Modified graphene and carbon materials are often used in lithium-ion batteries [153].…”

Semimetal-to-semiconductor transition in graphene can bestow graphene with numerous novel and enhanced structural, electrical, optical, and physicochemical characteristics. The scope of graphene and its prospective for an array of implications could be significantly outspread by this transition. In consideration of the recent advancements of semiconducting graphene, this article widely reviews the properties, production, and developing operations of this emergent material. The comparisons among the benefits and difficulties of current methods are made, intending to offer evidences to develop novel and scalable synthesis approaches. The emphasis is on the properties and applications resulting from various conversion methods (doping, controlled reduction, and functionalization), expecting to get improved knowledge on semiconducting graphene materials. Intending to motivate further efficient implications, the mechanisms leading to their beneficial usages for energy conversion and storage are also emphasized.

“…CNTs have shown to be better pharmacological and therapeutic profiles of drug molecules. The capability of functionalized CNT to enter into the cells helps in delivering small drug molecules in a dose based manner [52,53] CNT outer surfaces can be altered to enhance its solubility and susceptibility, and drug insertion could be achieved through inner hollow core [54]. The use of CNTs in cancer therapy is widely approved and they are incapable of targeting the malignant tumor due to the best intake by a specific section of malignant cells, without eroding and affecting healthy cells.…”

Among a large number of current biomedical applications in the use of medical devices, carbon-based nanomaterials such as graphene (G), graphene oxides (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and carbon nanotube (CNT) are frontline materials that are suitable for developing medical devices. Carbon Based Nanomaterials (CBNs) are becoming promising materials due to the existence of both inorganic semiconducting properties and organic π-π stacking characteristics. Hence, it could effectively simultaneously interact with biomolecules and response to the light. By taking advantage of such aspects in a single entity, CBNs could be used for developing biomedical applications in the future. The recent studies in developing carbon-based nanomaterials and its applications in targeting drug delivery, cancer therapy, and biosensors. The development of conjugated and modified carbon-based nanomaterials contributes to positive outcomes in various therapies and achieved emerging challenges in preclinical biomedical applications. Subsequently, diverse biomedical applications of carbon nanotube were also deliberately discussed in the light of various therapeutic advantages.

“…14 These problems can be overcome by removing partially the Ocontaining groups via chemical reduction or by thermal annealing. 15,16 Also, by using reducing agents such as (hydrazine, dimethyl hydrazine, and NaBH 4 ) to prepare the graphene. This method is harmful to the environment and the resulted graphene has a strong tendency to restack due to the p-p interactions.…”
