“…In 2016, an early work reported by Santhanam et al confirmed that graphene quantum dots (GQDs) could combine with zinc metal after electrochemical deposition, which achieved higher coulombic efficiency with zinc flakes rather than dendrites. [ 79 ] Following studies illustrated that graphene materials could serve as current collectors or protective AILs for zinc anodes because of their excellent conductivity and various functional groups.…”

As a promising electrochemical energy storage system (EESS), aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) hold the potential to achieve energy storage with low‐cost and nonpollution merits. However, the intrinsic defects of these systems block their further development severely, including dendrite growth, structural deterioration, parasitic reactions, and sluggish charge/discharge kinetics. Herein, the application of 2D carbon‐rich materials against the drawbacks of AZIBs is introduced. Advantages of each representative 2D carbon‐rich material (i.e., graphdiyne, graphene, 2D covalent organic frameworks, 2D metal organic frameworks, and 2D conductive polymers) are thoroughly discussed, along with recent progress of AZIB cathodes, anodes, separators, and electrolytes utilizing 2D carbon‐rich materials. Finally, the features of various 2D carbon‐rich materials are summarized and several perspectives on optimization of 2D carbon‐rich materials, development of characterization techniques, and the practical use of AZIBs in the future are given.

“…Figure 16 gives the plot of CV peak current vs norovirus concentration. Graphene which has been established to have fast electron transfer property and high chemical stability (Protich, Santhanam, et al, 2016; Protich, Wong, et al, 2016; Wong et al, 2018) was used for constructing real‐time rapid sensor for the pathogenic rotavirus. The specific rotavirus antibodies are covalently attached to the graphene surface after adsorbing 1‐pyrenebutyric acid N‐hydroxy‐succinimide ester through pi‐pi interaction.…”

The world is exposed to a large number of pathogens that are primarily responsible for variety of diseases in humans and animals. These pathogens are divided into five broad categories such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and worms. They enter the human body and utilize the body's resources to replicate, before exiting and infecting a new host, while weakening the immune system. In the class of pathogens, viruses are unique in that they kill host cells. We have been threatened by pathogens for centuries and our ability to reduce morbidity becomes obvious when we examine our average life span. Life expectancy of humans in the early 19th century was 40 years, which increased to 58 years in 1950 and then to 72 years in 1972. This gradual increase is due to better understanding of the biology of these pathogens, along with established methods for their detection and treatment. In 1940, influenza viruses A and B were detected and two vaccine protections against them were discovered in 1942. The H2N2 virus of 1957 resulted in deaths globally and led to the discovery of an antiviral medication in 1966. Another pandemic caused by H3N2 influenza virus resulted in several deaths in the United States and worldwide. The 2009 human influenza A H1N1 virus caused an annual global attack rate of 5%-10% in adults and 20%-30% in children; in one year (April 2009 to April 2010), 60.8 million cases were identified with a large number of deaths occurring in USA (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pande mic-resou rces/2009-h1n1-pande mic.html, https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pande mic-resou rces/pande mic-timel ine-1930-and-beyond.html). Influenza virus infection occurred via inhalation of virus laden particles or direct contact with virus contaminated surfaces (Choi et al., 2002; Couch, 2003). The solution to the problem of virus attack is to detect them with precautions to suitably control or eliminate them. This review is oriented towards the detection of the viruses. 2 | ME THODOLOGY FOR DE TEC TION OF VIRUS E S Historically, respiratory virus infections have been diagnosed by a combination of techniques such as enzyme immune assay, direct fluorescence antibody, staining, cell culture and nucleic acid amplification

Corrosion Protection of Monel Alloy Coated with Graphene Quantum Dots Starts with a Surge

There has been an active interest in protecting metals and alloys using graphene coating. The mechanism by which corrosion protection occurs has not been well understood as the couple involved are both good electron conductors. In this work, we demonstrate that Monel alloy coated with graphene quantum dots (GQD) changes the corrosion rate with a surge (increase) caused by the galvanic coupling of the two materials. This surge results in the protective layer formation on Monel to inhibit the corrosion. X-ray fluorescence spectrum of Monel (400) alloy showed the composition of it as Ni (67.05%) and Cu (29.42%). The Tafel experiments carried out in NaCl and Na2SO4 electrolytes showed an initial enhancement of the corrosion rate followed by a decrease upon successive polarizations. Monel coated with graphene oxide (an insulator) shows no initial enhancement of corrosion rate; the coated samples showed a lower corrosion rate in comparison to the uncoated samples. X-ray fluorescence, Fourier Transform spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman imaging studies have been carried out for understanding this transformation. Distinct peaks due to Ni-O stretching and Ni-O-H bending vibration were observed in the FTIR spectrum.
