Targeted delivery of reduced graphene oxide nanosheets using multifunctional ultrasound nanobubbles for visualization and enhanced photothermal therapy
摘要： Ultrasound molecular imaging as a promising strategy, which involved the use of molecularly targeted contrast agents, combined the advantages of contrast-enhanced ultrasound with the photothermal effect of reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Methods and results: The heparin sulfate proteoglycan glypican-3 (GPC3) is a potential molecular target for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we covalently linked biotinylated GPC3 antibody to PEGylated nano-rGO to obtain GPC3-modified rGO-PEG (rGO-GPC3), and then combined rGO-GPC3 with avidinylated nanobubbles (NBs) using biotin-avidin system to prepare NBs-GPC3-rGO with photothermal effect and dispersibility, solubility in physiological environment. The average size of NBs-GPC3-rGO complex was 700.4±52.9 nm due to the polymerization of biotin-avidin system. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed NBs-GPC3-rGO attached to human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cell. The ultrasound-targeted nanobubble destruction (UTND) technology make use of the physical energy of ultrasound exposure for the improvement of rGO delivery. Compared with other control groups, the highest nanobubble destruction efficiency of NBs-GPC3-rGO was attributed to the dissection effect of rGO on UTND. This is a positive feedback effect that leads to an increase in the concentration of rGO around the HepG2 cell. So NBs-GPC3-rGO using UTND and near-infrared (NIR) irradiation resulted in cell viability within 24 h, 48 h, 72 h lower than other treatment groups. Conclusion: This work established NBs-GPC3-rGO as an ultrasonic photothermal agent due to its suitable size, imaging capability, photothermal efficiency for visual photothermal therapy in vitro.

Wafer-scale Fabrication of Nitrogen-doped Reduced Graphene Oxide with Enhanced Quaternary-N for High-Performance Photodetection
摘要： We demonstrated a simple and scalable fabrication route of nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO) photodetector on 8-inch wafer-scale. The N-rGO was prepared through in-situ plasma-treatment in an acetylene-ammonia atmosphere to achieve n-type semiconductor with substantial formation of quaternary-N substituted into the graphene lattice. The morphology, structural, chemical composition and electrical properties of the N-rGO was carefully characterized and being used for the device fabrication. The N-rGO devices were fabricated in a simple metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) structure with unconventional metal-on-bottom configuration to promote high-performance photodetection. The N-rGO devices exhibited enhanced photoresponsivity as high as 0.68 A W?1 at 1.0 V, which is about two orders of magnitude higher compared to a pristine graphene and wide-band photo-induced response from visible to near-infrared (NIR) region with increasing sensitivity in the order of 785 nm, 632.8 nm and 473 nm excitation wavelengths. We also further demonstrated a symmetric characteristic of photo-induced response to any position of local laser excitation with respect to the electrodes. The excellent features of wafer-scale N-rGO devices suggest a promising route to merge the current silicon technology and two-dimensional materials for future optoelectronic devices.

Enhanced photocatalytic activity of TiO2/graphene by tailoring oxidation degrees of graphene oxide for gaseous mercury removal
摘要： We used a simple method of graphene oxide (GO) preparation with different oxidation levels, and control the properties of the TiO2 nanocrystals by tuning the content and oxidation degree of GO to enhance the photocatalytic performance. During the hydrothermal reaction, reduction of GO, formation of TiO2 and chemical bonds between TiO2 and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was achieved simultaneously. Characterization results showed that TiO2 properties such as crystalline grain and particle size could be tailored by the amount of functional groups, and that crystallinity was also controlled by GO degrees of oxidation. TiO2/RGO photocatalysts showed great efficiency of mercury oxidation, which reached 83.7% and 43.6% under UV and LED light irradiation, respectively. The effects of crystalline grain size and surface chemical properties on Hg0 removal under LED and UV light irradiation were analyzed. In addition, the properties of the photocatalysts before and after UV illumination were investigated, finding that part of Ti-OH on TiO2 surface transformed to Ti-O-Ti. In a nutshell, this work could provide a new insight into enhancing activity of photocatalysts and understanding the photocatalytic mechanism.

Silver nanoparticles with reduced graphene oxide for surface-enhanced vibrational spectroscopy of DNA constituents
摘要： Composite of silver nanoparticles with reduced graphene oxide flakes is proposed for surface enhanced vibrational spectroscopy, particularly for detection of adenine and thymine as constituents of deoxyribonucleic acid. Composite was formed by original method implying simultaneous reduction of silver ions and graphene oxide by discharge plasma at the gas–liquid interface. Combination of nanosized silver with reduced graphene oxide provided greater enhancement of Raman light scattering and infrared light absorption in comparison with separately used components. Addition of the composite to water solutions of adenine and thymine allowed detection of these analytes at micromolar concentrations. Composite of nano-silver with reduced graphene oxide can be prospective for surface enhanced spectroscopy as an alternative to the expensive lithographically prepared noble metal substrates.

3D graphene/AgBr/Ag cascade aerogel for efficient photocatalytic disinfection
摘要： To design semiconductor-based photocatalysts with efficient charge carriers separation and transfer remains an enduring goal of artificial photosynthesis toward target redox reactions. Herein, we report a cascade monolith composite of ternary reduced graphene oxide aerogel/silver bromide/silver (RGA/AgBr/Ag) with efficient charge carriers separation, which exhibits much higher activity than bare AgBr toward photocatalytic bacteria inactivation. Mechanistic studies reveal that the reduced graphene oxide aerogel (RGA) scaffold and Ag nanoparticles serve as electron relay mediators to promote the charge carriers separation and transfer. In addition, the metallic Ag nanoparticles derived from the photoreduction of AgBr during the photocatalytic disinfection can further boost the separation of charge carriers. Control experiments demonstrate that the surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-excited hot electrons of Ag nanoparticles also contributes to enhancing the photoactivity of RGA/AgBr/Ag. As such, the synergy of multiple electron transfer behavior integratively leads to the boosted photocatalytic performance of such RGA/AgBr/Ag aerogel for bacteria inactivation with convenient recyclable operability.

Nanoscale reduced graphene oxide-mediated photothermal therapy together with IDO inhibition and PD-L1 blockade synergistically promote antitumor immunity
摘要： Despite the potential efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade for effective treatment of cancer, this therapeutic modality is not generally curative and only a fraction of patients respond. Combination approaches provide strategies to target multiple antitumor immune pathways to induce synergistic antitumor immunity. Here, a multi-combination immunotherapy including photothermal therapy (PTT), indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibition and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) blockade is introduced for inducing synergistic antitumor immunity. We designed a multifunctional IDO inhibitor (IDOi)-loaded reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-based nanosheets (IDOi/rGO nanosheets) with the properties to directly kill tumor cells under laser irradiation and in situ trigger antitumor immune response. In vivo experiments further revealed that the triggered immune response can be synergistically promoted by IDO inhibition and PD-L1 blockade; the responses included the enhancement of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) including CD45+ leukocytes, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells and NK cells, the inhibition of the immune suppression activity of regulator T cells (Tregs) and the production of INF-γ. We also demonstrate that the three combinations of PTT, IDO inhibition and PD-L1 blockade could effectively inhibit the growth of both irradiated tumors and tumors in distant sites without PTT treatment. This work can be thought as an important proof-of-concept to target multiple antitumor immune pathways to induce synergistic antitumor immunity.

Optimizing P25-rGO composites for pesticides degradation: Elucidation of photo-mechanism
摘要： The junction of graphene oxide with TiO2 particles can help develop more efficient photocatalysts capable to harvest radiation in a wider range of the electromagnetic spectrum for real photocatalytic applications. The synthesis procedure of TiO2 P25-rGO composites was optimized to photodegrade a selected mixture of pesticides classified by EU as priority pollutants (alachlor, diuron, atrazine and isoproturon). The influence of temperature and time of hydrothermal method, as well as the effect of graphene oxide (GO) percentage added in the synthesis, was studied to obtain the nanocomposite that showed the highest photoactivity. Long time and moderate temperature have offered the best interaction between TiO2 P25 and rGO. GO was quantitatively reduced to rGO during the hydrothermal treatment, but maintains a higher level of disorder. The optimal GO loading was found around 0.25 wt. %, which allowed the photocatalyst achieve high photocatalytic performance both in phenol and pesticides photodegradation. Finally, in order to try to elucidate the photocatalytic mechanism of the selected mixture of pesticides three scavengers were employed: methanol to scavenge hydroxyl radicals, formic acid for the photogenerated holes, and copper (II) nitrate to quench the electrons of the conduction band. In conclusion, all these pesticides were mostly photodegraded by the hydroxyl radicals (HO?) produced from the photo-induced holes (h+); given that the oxidant species generated from electrons or mediated by direct mechanism were not relevant.

Gamma irradiated poly (methyl methacrylate)-reduced graphene oxide composite thin films for multifunctional applications
摘要： Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-Reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) (PrGO) composite films were fabricated by solvent evaporation technique and exposed to gamma radiation at different dosages viz. 25 kGy, 50 kGy and 100 kGy. The XRD analysis revealed the phases of PMMA and rGO and further confirmed the semi-crystalline nature of PMMA. The irradiation also decreased the peak intensities of the functional groups of PMMA and rGO. At 50 kGy irradiation, lamellar structures were formed on the surface of the films (50 kGy) due to the thermal fluctuations whereas, at higher dosage (100 kGy), pores were formed. The surface roughness and contact angle were enhanced on 50 kGy sample. The drug impregnated PrGO50 and PrGO100 samples showed sustained and burst release of drug respectively and in addition exhibited a better zone of inhibition against E. coli bacteria. All the samples were hemocompatible in nature. Fibroblast proliferation was enhanced with no cytotoxic effect on 50 kGy samples. Hence, the gamma irradiated samples could be an excellent candidate for biosensing and biomedical applications.

Scalable modulation of reduced graphene oxide properties via regulating graphite oxide precursors
摘要： Here we demonstrate the scalable modulation of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) properties by regulating graphite oxide (GtO) precursors. Our findings show the thickness and loose degree of GtO precursors act as key roles in flame activation process. Interestingly, the looser GtO transforms into RGO with a lower specific surface area (SSA); RGO from the thinner GtO paper shows a higher SSA. By regulating GtO precursors, SSA from 1030.5 to 335.3 m2 g?1, defect degree, oxidation degree, and pore volume from 4.61 to 1.36 cm3 g?1 can be tuned. The corresponding structural properties are translated into unique supercapacitor (SC) performances such as high specific capacitance (the highest value of 576 F g?1) and coulombic efficiency. Additionally, this method indicates great potential to prepare RGO-based metal oxide composites with good homogeneity and good SC behaviors.

Temperature Dependent Electrical Transport Properties of High Carrier Mobility Reduced Graphene Oxide Thin Film Devices
摘要： We confirm variable electrical transport properties of high mobility reduced graphene oxide (RGO) thin films fabricated by pulse laser deposition. The temperature dependent (5K–350K) four terminal electrical transport property measurements range hopping and thermally activated transport mechanism of the charge carriers at low (5K–210K) and high temperature (210K–350K) regions, respectively. The calculated localization length, the density of states near the Fermi level (EF), hopping energy, and Arrhenius energy gap provide useful information to explain the excellent electrical properties of the RGO films. Hall mobility measurement confirms p-type characteristics of the thin films. The charge carrier Hall mobility can be engineered by tuning the growth parameters, and the measured maximum mobility was 1596 cm2v-1s-1. The optimization of the improved electrical property is well supported by structural properties such as the defect density, average size of sp2 clusters and degree of reduction, which were investigated by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis.
