Implications of Chemical Reduction Using Hydriodic Acid on the Antimicrobial Properties of Graphene Oxide and Reduced Graphene Oxide Membranes

Abstract: The antimicrobial properties of graphene‐based membranes such as single‐layer graphene oxide (GO) and modified graphene oxide (rGO) on top of cellulose ester membrane are reported in this study. rGO membranes are made from GO by hydriodic acid (HI) vapor treatment. The antibacterial properties are tested after 3 h contact time with selected model bacteria. Complete bacterial cell inactivation is found only after contact with rGO membranes, while no significant bacterial inactivation is found for the control i)… Show more

“…GO is electrically insulating and hinders the application of electronic devices. Therefore, it is essential to recover π conjugated structures via thermal reduction, chemical reduction, or laser reduction . But many substrates cannot endure these harsh conditions like high temperature and strong oxidants so that the methods cannot be applied in many fabrication processes …”

“…The GO/protein/CYs (GO/amyloid monomer/CY and GO/amyloid nanofibril/CY) were dried in a fume hood before the reduction of GO. Next, the attached GO flakes on the yarn surface were transformed into rGO flakes through a chemical reduction method . The GO/protein/CYs were immersed in a vial containing hydriodic acid (57 wt% in H 2 O, Sigma Aldrich) and acetic acid (>99.5%), and the vial was heated at 40 °C for 2 h. After the chemical reduction, the yarns were washed several times with saturated sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3 , Sigma Aldrich) solution and distilled water to remove residual reducing agent .…”

“…On the other hand, some literatures have reported about the antibacterial property of graphene material [35][36][37] and some reports have shown the lack of antimicrobial ability [38] but as antimicrobial agents graphene nanocomposites have received many satisfactorily reverberations [39][40][41][42].…”
