“…Thus, the combination of the previously discussed non-covalent forces depends on the type of materials and the reaction conditions, and they are very important for the fabrication of new devices [46,51]. Finally, a common approach consist on the synthesis of systems through the combination of covalent/non-covalent interactions in multiple consecutive stages, yielding very complex hybrid materials or in a multilayer arranged, highly functional, selective, and efficient [46,61].…”

The use of 2D nanocarbon materials as scaffolds for the functionalization with different molecules has been rising as a result of their outstanding properties. This chapter describes the synthesis of graphene and its derivatives, particularly graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Both GO and rGO represent a tunable alternative for applications with biomolecules due to the oxygenated moieties, which allow interactions in a either covalent or non-covalent way. From here, other discussed topics are the biofunctionalization with keratin (KE) and chitosan (CS). The noncovalent functionalization is based primarily on secondary interactions such as van der Waals forces, electrostatics interactions, or π-π stacking formed between KE or CS with graphenic materials. On the other hand, covalent functionalization with KE and CS is mainly based on the reaction among the functional groups present in those biomolecules and the graphenic materials. As a result of the functionalization, different applications have been proposed for these novel materials, which are reviewed in order to offer an overview about the possible fields of application of 2D nanocarbon materials. In a nutshell, the objective of this work is as follows: first, overhaul different aspects about the synthesis of graphene chemically obtained, and second, make a review of different approaches in the functionalization of 2D carbon materials with specific biomolecules.

“…In fact, 2D materials have revealed outstanding and promising prospects in science and nanotechnology in the last years because of their unique properties in the fields of photonics, sensing, flexible electronics, and energy harvesting. , Graphene, being a single-layered material with superior electronic, optical, thermal, and mechanical properties, is ideally suited for layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly. Novel functional materials with modified, optimized, or enhanced properties can be formed by constructing pillared structures, where graphene sandwiches a variety of guest moieties. Thus, the synthesis of a hybrid thin film, combining the properties of C-dots and graphene, is a great challenge for potential applications in the fields of sensing, catalysis, optoelectronics, and biomedicine.…”

The special electronic, optical, thermal, and mechanical properties of graphene resulting from its 2D nature, as well as the ease of functionalizing it through a simple acid treatment, make graphene an ideal building block for the development of new hybrid nanostructures with well-defined dimensions and behavior. Such hybrids have great potential as active materials in applications such as gas storage, gas/liquid separation, photocatalysis, bioimaging, optoelectronics, and nanosensing. In this study, luminescent carbon dots (C-dots) were sandwiched between oxidized graphene sheets to form novel hybrid multilayer films. Our thin-film preparation approach combines self-assembly with the Langmuir–Schaefer deposition and uses graphene oxide nanosheets as template for grafting C-dots in a bidimensional array. Repeating the cycle results in a facile and low-cost layer-by-layer procedure for the formation of highly ordered hybrid multilayers, which were characterized by photoluminescence, UV–visible, X-ray photoelectron, and Raman spectroscopies, as well as X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy.

Much of the research effort on graphene focuses on its use as a building block for the development of new hybrid nanostructures with well-defined dimensions and properties suitable for applications such as gas storage, heterogeneous catalysis, gas/liquid separations, nanosensing, and biomedicine. Toward this aim, here we describe a new bottom-up approach, which combines self-assembly with the Langmuir-Schaefer deposition technique to synthesize graphene-based layered hybrid materials hosting fullerene molecules within the interlayer space. Our film preparation consists in a bottom-up layer-by-layer process that proceeds via the formation of a hybrid organo-graphene oxide Langmuir film. The structure and composition of these hybrid fullerene-containing thin multilayers deposited on hydrophobic substrates were characterized by a combination of X-ray diffraction, Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies, atomic force and scanning electron microscopies, and conductivity measurements. The latter revealed that the presence of C 60 within the interlayer spacing leads to an increase in electrical conductivity of the hybrid material as compared to the organo-graphene matrix alone.
