Summary: The evolution of smart life requires microscale energy storage devices with high power and energy density to integrate IoT devices with sustainable power generators. Pseudocapacitors are considered efficient energy storage devices due to their longer cyclability and high-power density compared to Li-ion batteries, but there are difficulties in patterning microscale electrodes using conventional methods. A one-step fabrication method of micro-supercapacitors was developed through the in situ formation of Co metals and reduced graphene oxides in a one-pot laser scribing process, resulting in a Co/rGO MSC with four times higher capacitance than rGO MSC.

Summary: The combination of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy is an effective approach for cancer treatment. Graphene oxide (GO) has been extensively used as a chemotherapeutic carrier and photothermal agent due to its large specific surface area and strong near-infrared absorbance. The preparation of ultrafine GO nanosheets (UGO) with controlled size and high oxidation degree is crucial for biological applications. In this study, a versatile drug delivery nanoplatform based on poly(dopamine) modified ultrasmall graphene oxide (UGO) was developed, which exhibited excellent biocompatibility, photothermal performance, and high drug loading capacity for doxorubicin. Under NIR laser irradiation, the photothermal-induced release of doxorubicin enabled efficient therapy of breast cancer by synergizing chemotherapy and photothermal therapy. This work establishes UGO as a novel drug delivery system with excellent photothermal performance for the combination therapy of tumors.

Summary: An intelligent NO nanogenerator triggered by NIR light was constructed for targeted treatment of P. aeruginosa bacterial infection, achieving accurate release of therapeutic drugs at the infection site. In vivo experiments showed a 97.7% reduction in bacterial burden, along with promotion of growth factor secretion and regulation of inflammation and angiogenesis. This multifunctional antibacterial platform has potential for treating drug-resistant bacterial infections due to its efficient gas release performance.

Summary: Graphene-based nanomaterials, specifically graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), have shown great potential in cancer therapy. This review explores the structural features of GO and rGO, and discusses the applicability of GBNMs in photothermal therapy for different cancer types. It also examines the integration of photothermal therapy with other treatment strategies and the use of hybrid magnetic-GBNMs. The challenges and prospects of clinical translation are also addressed.

Summary: Formaldehyde is a widely present indoor air pollutant that is irritating and carcinogenic to humans. In this study, α-MnO2 nanowires were composited with graphene oxide (GO) to prepare α-MnO2/GO nanohybrids with excellent activity. These nanohybrids achieved complete decomposition of formaldehyde under solar-light irradiation at ambient temperature, demonstrating significantly enhanced catalytic activity. This work proposes a new approach for utilizing solar energy to control formaldehyde pollution in indoor air.

Summary: Photothermal therapy is a popular treatment for bone tumors, and magnesium and its alloys have the potential to be used as bone implants. However, there is limited research on fabricating a photothermal coating on magnesium alloys. In this study, a reduced graphene oxide coating with a strong photothermal effect was successfully prepared on the surface of AZ31. The coating showed tight adhesion to the substrate and demonstrated superior photothermal effect, providing a new strategy for the treatment of bone tumors with magnesium-based implants.
