Background: Graphene and its derivatives have been widely used in modern electrochemical- related technologies due to their versatile structure, tunable conductivity, and large specific surface area. However, there is a need to provide the latest global literature overview in this field.Methods: In this study, we reported a literature overview of current developments in the applications of graphene in energy conversion and stora Read More

Nanomaterials often show very different sizes, shapes, and stability properties. They also facilitate electron transfer and can be easily modified with chemical ligands and biomolecules. These properties, combined with the ease of miniaturizing nanoscales and their application to sensing devices, make nanomaterials well suited for essential chemical/biochemical sensing applications.Nanomaterials are superior materials not only d Read More

This overview describes the synthesis, characterization, and application of different carbon dots hybrid nanostructures obtained by chemical interaction between nanomaterials or nanomaterials bonded to another material, i.e. silicon (SiO2/Carbon dots-N), reduced graphene oxide (rGO/Carbon dots), multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs/Carbon dots), nano magnetite (Carbon dots/Fe3O4), reduced graphene oxid Read More

Carbon nano-onions, a family of carbon nanomaterials, consist of multiple concentric fullerene- like carbon shells which are highly defective and disordered. Due to their unique physicochemical properties, such as high conductivity, high surface area, biocompatibility, thermal stability, and others, they are promising nanomaterials for different electrochemical applications. In this sense, this review outlines the synthetic meth Read More

With so many of our daily activities related to electricity, from telecommunication to laptops and computers, the use of electric energy has skyrocketed in today's technology-based world. Energy output must rise to meet rising energy demand. Still, as fossil fuels are running out, we must turn to more renewable energy sources, particularly solar energy, which can be harnessed and converted to electricity by solar-powere Read More

Cancer is one of the most widespread life-threatening diseases, and among different types of cancers, breast cancer is the major disease affecting many women worldwide.Background: Conventional chemotherapy using anticancer drugs has many drawbacks, like poor water solubility, poor bioavailability, rapid relapse, non-specific selectivity, effect on normal tissues, and rapid drug resistance. Thus, over the last few years, i Read More

Background: Tumors are increasingly heterogeneous throughout the process of their growth, producing a mixed-cell community with a range of molecular features and susceptibility to therapies. Nanotechnology has shown tremendous potential in diagnosing and treating solid tumors.Objective: Most cancer-related deaths are attributed to the lack of early detection and effective treatment. Its early diagnosis he Read More
