“…Many studies and research papers have started to concentrate on the harmful effects of the SARS-CoV-2 in the environment [ 160 ]. At a certain level, it has been acknowledged that the SARS-CoV-2 occurrence has reduced global warming and pollution levels due to the worldwide lockdown and decrease in mobility of the people.…”

Graphene is a two-dimensional material with sp2 hybridization that has found its broad-spectrum potentialities in various domains like electronics, robotics, aeronautics, etc.; it has recently gained its utilities in the biomedical domain. The unique properties of graphene and its derivatives of graphene have helped them find their utilities in the biomedical domain. Additionally, the sudden outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 has immensely expanded the research field, which has also benefitted graphene and its derivatives. Currently, the world is facing a global pandemic due to the sudden outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), also known as COVID-19, from its major onset Wuhan city, China, in December 2019. Presently, many new variants and mutants appear, which is more harmful than previous strains. However, researchers and scientists are focused on understanding the target structure of coronavirus, mechanism, causes and transmission mode, treatment, and alternatives to cure these diseases in this critical pandemic situation; many findings are achieved, but much more is unknown and pending to be explored. This review paper is dedicated to exploring the utilities of graphene and its derivatives in combating the SARS-CoV-2 by highlighting their mechanism and applications in the production of biosensors, personal protection equipment (PPE) kits, 3-D printing, and antiviral coatings. Further, the paper also covers the cytotoxicity caused by graphene and its derivatives and highlights the graphene-based derivatives market aspects in biomedical domains. Thus, graphene and graphene-derived materials are our new hope in this pandemic time, and this review helps acquire broad knowledge about them.

“…The issue associated with the health menaces ensuing from hazardous waste in the form of environmental adulteration is one of the utmost serious concern to most ecological researchers around the world [3,107,114]. According to several reported studies, industrial waste (such as heavy metals and dyes) is one of the core hypothetically environmental noxious waste especially in fluid (air or water in particular) and land (soil), which are added to the already climate influenced ecosystem via some anthropogenic and natural activities.…”

“…The scientist has warned that if nothing is done in rectifying the current climate change, agricultural production of food will be severely hampered. Hence, the use of contemporary and evolving materials (such nanomaterials) and scientific techniques (such as AI and IoT) in aspect of FIT that are cost effective and environmental friendly are highly encouraged and such should be evolved [53,107,114].…”

The influence of climate change on agriculture, especially as it relates to the production of food, changes with reverence to duration and space, of which most of these influences are diverse and remarkably uncertain. Undoubtedly, the application of food innovation technology (FIT) in the agricultural processes is an important response for operative and objective adaptation and mitigation of climate change. Consequently, there is a need to urgently re-evaluate the procedures for FIT so as to address the diversities and uncertainties ensuing from these influences of climate change on agriculture with the aim of improving the production of food. Therefore, the application of climate-smart agricultural (CSA) activities with resilience in agricultural events as well as more aids in the application of resources for both in the adaptation and mitigation of climate change by means of FIT will be of great assistance in this regard. Hence, this study presents a facile review of some of the topical developments in the production of food with reverence to the influence of climate change on FIT. Some legal frame-work on climate change with respect to FIT are also been discussed.

This review briefly emphasizes the different detection approaches (electrochemical sensors, chemiluminescence, surface‐enhanced Raman scattering), functional nanostructure materials (quantum dots, metal nanoparticles, metal nanoclusters, magnetic nanomaterials, metal oxide nanoparticles, polymer‐based nanomaterials, and carbonaceous nanomaterials) and detection mechanisms. Furthermore, the emphasis of this review is on the integration of functional nanomaterials with optical spectroscopic techniques for the identification of various biomarkers (nucleic acids, glucose, uric acid, oxytocin, dopamine, ascorbic acid, bilirubin, spermine, serotonin, thiocyanate, Pb2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, F−, peptides), and cancer biomarkers (mucin 1, prostate specific antigen, carcinoembryonic antigen, CA15‐3, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, C‐reactive protein, and interleukin‐6). Analytical characteristics of nanomaterials‐based optical sensors are summarized in the tables, providing the insights of nanomaterials‐based optical sensors for biomarkers detection. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of nanomaterials‐based optical analytical approaches for the detection of various biomarkers (inorganic, organic, biomolecules, peptides and proteins) are discussed.
