Article Abstract
Nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) materials have been proposed as next-generation oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts to significantly improve scalability and reduce costs, but these alternatives usually exhibit low activity and/or gradual deactivation during use. Here, we develop new 2D sandwich-like zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) derived graphene-based nitrogen-doped porous carbon sheets (GNPCSs) obtained by in situ growing ZIF on graphene oxide (GO). Compared to commercial Pt/C catalyst, the GNPCSs show comparable onset potential, higher current density, and especially an excellent tolerance to methanol and superior durability in the ORR. Those properties might be attributed to a synergistic effect between NC and graphene with regard to structure and composition. Furthermore, higher open-circuit voltage and power density are obtained in direct methanol fuel cells.

Ammonia is one of the most important inputs in the global chemical industry, used primarily in fertilizers and explosives. It is increasingly recognized as a potential energy carrier. Its production is dominated by the Haber-Bosch process, which requires high energy consumption and significant capital investment, and contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions.

Graphene-based nanomaterials have transformed biomedical applications due to their exceptional physicochemical properties, and nitrogen (N)-doping further enhances the electrocatalytic activity of graphene. Driven by the demand for safer and more sustainable nanomaterials, in this work, we compared eco-friendly produced - doped graphene (bD) with conventionally synthesized - doped graphene (cD) in three different cell lines. Across all cell types and assays, cD was more toxic than bD.

Notwithstanding the demonstrated benefits of electrical stimulation in enhancing tissue functionality, existing state-of-the-art electrostimulation systems often depend on invasive electrodes or planar designs. This work exploits the versatility of graphene to fabricate biocompatible electrodes for the three-dimensional electrical stimulation of neural stem cells. A conductive green graphene-based ink was formulated and screen-printed as the bottom and top electrodes in a bottom-less standard culture well plate.

Compound , (5)-2-hydroxy-4-methyl-6-oxo-5-[(5-phenylfuran-2-yl)methylidene]-5,6-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile, is an effective NEK6 kinase inhibitor with demonstrated anticancer and neuroprotective activity. However, its poor aqueous solubility (3 μg/mL) presents a significant barrier to therapeutic development. To address this limitation, we developed a graphene-based nanocarrier system by conjugating compound and its fluorinated derivatives ( and ) onto structurally uniform few-layer graphene nanoparticles (GNPs) obtained via ball-milling and liquid-phase exfoliation (B60).

Graphene oxide (GO) mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) that employ facilitated transport of carbon dioxide were prepared and tested for use in postcombustion carbon capture. Two graphene hybrids were synthesized using exfoliated graphene (G) and GO as a basis and were then appended with triethylene glycol (TEG) and -(2-hydroxyethyl)-ethylenediamine (EDAOH) functional groups, respectively. Unfunctionalized GO nanoparticles were commercially obtained for comparison to the synthesized nanoparticles.
