Graphene Oxide-Based Nanocarriers
4.1 AN OVERVIEW OF GO-BASED NANOCARRIERS
Carbon-based nanomaterials were extensively used in a variety of engineering elds owing to their large surface area and affordable production cost. Graphite, a member of the carbon allotropes, is a soft, elastic, and commonly accessible pure version of carbon. Each carbon atom in graphite is covalently bonded to three adjacent carbon atoms to produce the hexagonal layer. Graphene is designated as asingle layer of car­bon atoms of graphite. Graphene has been widely employed for supercapacitors [1,2], catalysis [3], hydrogen storage materials [2,4,5], battery electrodes [1], and biosensors [2] ever since its discovery because of its remarkable physicochemical characteris­tics, including electrical, thermal, optical, and mechanical characteristics. Precisely, the higher surface area and the optical properties of graphene nanomaterials have attracted great interest in biomedical applications such as biosensing and drugs and gene delivery [6,7]. However, the poor water solubility of graphene due to the π-π staking limits its utilization for biomedical applications. Fortunately, the oxidative and hydrophilic derivatives of hydrophobic graphene, such as graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide(rGO), are enriched in epoxy, carboxyl, and hydroxyl functional entities, which provide them better stability and dispersibility in water [6].
Graphene, along with its derivative like graphene oxide, is currently being exten­sively researched, not only because of its fundamental physicochemical character­istics but also because of its agitating potential of applications in varied arenas of biomedical engineering such as drug delivery, biosensing, cancer therapeutics, and tissue engineering [8]. The modulation of defects in graphene-based nanomaterials is directly relevant to a variety of applications. In the family of graphene-derived mate­rials, GO and rGO are considered generic nanomaterials [9–11]. The oxidation of graphene yields graphene oxide (GO), which has a variety of physicochemicalchar­acteristics. It is a 2D single atomic thick honeycomb-like structure that is indeed ahydrophilic derivative of graphene [12,13]. Other characteristics of GO, such as controllable shape and biocompatibility, make it suitable for biomedical applications [14–16]. It can be used for bioimaging and biosensing as it exhibits uorescence in the visible and infrared regions of the EM spectrum and Raman signals in the D, G, and 2D regions [14]. As illustrated in Figure4.1 [17], the oxygenatedfunctional entities are located at the trailing edge and basal planes of the GO nanosheets. In addition to the attributes listed previously, GO may be incorporated with polymers and other additives such as polyacrylic acid (PAA), polyethylene glycol (PEG), folic

acid, and chitosan to improve their biocompatibility, loading capacity, targetability as well as structural properties.
Though the basic structure of rGO and GO are identical to that of graphene, they also encompass oxygen-enrichedfunctional regions in lowerand higher quantities, correspondingly [12,18]. The GO is made up of single-layer nanostructures that are loaded with oxygen-richfunctional groups, offering itexcellent hydrophilicity. For the preparation of GO, a conventional Hummers methodologyand its variants are commonly implemented. The GO preparation method involves the use of strong acids and oxidants that incorporate oxygenated functional entities into the GO. Nonetheless, GO has been prepared using a variety of methodologies, the earliest of which was described by Brodie (1859) [19] and was pursued by Staudenmaier (1898) [20], Hummers (1958) [21], Tour (2010) [22], Sun (2013) [23] and Peng (2015) [24]. The reduced degree of oxidation, challenging reaction environments, harmful gases releases such as NO2, N2O4, or ClO2, the need for purication processes, and the high production cost are some of the drawbacks of these methods. Nonetheless, the Hummers approach and its modications have alleviated many of the constraints to a certain degree. The specics are presented in the succeeding section. The bet­ter water solubility of GO is attributed to the existence of hydroxyl,carboxyl, and epoxy functional groups; nonetheless, these are insufcient for biomedical applica­tions without surface modications. Importantly, these oxygen-containing functional units give a number of active sites for doping the elements or grafting additional functional entitiesto improve the surface characteristics of GO while retaining its fundamental features. [12,25]. In addition, the aqueous stability of GO is also a fore­most issue for its application in drug delivery. GO has an aggregation tendency in

100 Carbon-Based Nanocarriers for Drug Delivery
the physiological solutions with proteins and salt due to the nonspecic binding and electrostatic interactions, which produces a hindrance to the development of bio­logical probes [26]. The precise functionalization of GO boosts its solubility under physiological circumstances and optimizes it for biological applications. In addition, its unrivaled properties, such as higher surface area, have made GOone of the most popular and extensively researched nanomaterials for environmental remediation and drug delivery-relatedapplications [27–29]. Meanwhile, another graphene deriv­ative, rGO, has been employed for diverse real-world applications, including drug delivery, and can be simply produced by reducing the oxygenated function groups of GO. The reduction mechanism can be accomplished using thermal and chemical processes, mostly for stimuli-responsive functionalization [8,30]. Previously, GO and rGO were extensively explored for energy, environmental, and drug delivery-related applications, including cancer therapeutics, neurodegenerative diseases, gene deliv­ery, and tissue engineering [27,31–33].
The present chapter offers substantial evidence associated with the synthesis of pristine GO and rGO nanocarriers. It also debates their advantages, process features, and inadequacies besides their chronological developments. This chapter elucidates the signicance, physicochemical properties, and benets over the utilization of GO in drug delivery-related applications. Various covalent and non-covalent function­alization approaches are also explored critically in considering the inadequacies of GO in terms of aqueous stability and aggregation tendency, as well as biocompati­bility for its application in the biomedical sector. Furthermore, the recent advances in the structural, functional, and morphological modications of GO for enhancing its therapeutic efcacy in cancer and other inrmities therapy are described in detail. In addition, recommendations are made to minimize the shortcoming of GO-based nanocarriers for their synthesis functionalization and to improve the adaptability of GO in modern therapeutics. Ultimately, the outcomes of application-driven research on GO-based nanocarriers related to cancer treatment, gene therapy, neurodegener­ative diseases, and tissue engineering are reviewed to offer exhaustive knowledge about its efciency toward drug delivery-related applications.
4.2 PREPARATION OF GRAPHENE OXIDE (GO)
Since GO is indeed a quasi-molecule, it developed in asynthetic product. Graphite, the primary material, comprises many planes of hexagonal honeycomb-like struc­ture. Exfoliation, on the other hand, can synthesize graphene asa single sheet of graphite. GO is formed when pristine graphene sheets are oxidized. As a result, GOis described as a graphene sheet or layer adorned by oxygenatedfunctionalities. During the oxidation of graphite, the oxidizing agent such as KMnO4 reacts with the carbon skeleton of graphite and further weakens the van der Waals force within the stacked sheets of graphite while increasing the interlayer spacings, subsequently [34].
The extent and the degree of oxidation rmly affect an elemental composition GO. The graphene sheets are completely exfoliated from graphite, hence depicting the absence (0 at. wt. %) of oxygen (O). Meanwhile, in the case of GO, the highest O content cannot exceed 50 at. wt.% as a result of sp The atomic weight % of oxygen in the GO and hence its solubility is also dependent

on the temperature conditions. GO with higher solubility in physiological conditions is generally recommended for biomedical applications [6,35]. GOwas found to have an oxygen contentof about 10 to 50 % atomic weight % when restricted at tempera­tures of around 50 to 70 oC, with higher solubility and lower reduction at 35–50 oC. Conversely, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) might be found to include up to 10% atomic weight of oxygen (O), which can be accomplished by thermal or chemical reduction processes [36]. The following section provides a comprehensive descrip­tion of the processes for synthesizing GOand rGO.
4.2.1 synThesis oF prisTine go
Typically, two processes, dry media and wet medium, are used to synthesize graphene oxide. During thedry media synthesis, graphene nanosheets are oxidized in a vacuum chamber with atomic oxygen. This method of fabrication is expensive since it necessitates the use of graphene sheets as a carbon source, an ultra-high vac­uum condition, and molecular oxygen. [20,37]. On the other hand, the wet medium technique is a less expensive option since it employs natural and easily available synthetic graphite as a precursor to graphene/carbon and does not need exhaustive experimentation.
The key chemical routes for the synthesis of GO are shown in Figure4.2 [27]. The rst method employs graphite for exfoliation to produce graphene sheets, which are subsequently followed by the oxidation process. Furthermore, the oxidation pro­cess in the subsequent technique is driven by acoustic exfoliation in an aqueous phase [38,39]. The last and third strategy is currently a well-known and commonly utilized technology for producing GO. In this scenario, graphite is oxidized using powerful oxidizing chemicals and exfoliated in an acidic media. The well-known Hummers, Brodie, and Staudenmaier approaches have also applied this methodology.
FIGURE 4.2 Schematics for the Synthesis of GO.
102 Carbon-Based Nanocarriers for Drug Delivery
Although all three methods contribute to the synthesis of GO, the functional and physicochemical characteristics of each method differ, including the degree of oxida­tion, composition, solubility, structure, reactive sites, and water solubility.
Over the past century, a variety of methods for synthesizing GO have been inves­tigated. The three main ways are Brodie [19], Staudenmaier [20], and Hummers [21]; each of these approaches is a replacement for the earlier method. However, Sun etal. (2013) [23] and Peng etal. (2015) [24] improved Hummers’s approach by utilizing free water oxidation techniques to improve the quality and yield of GO, which is currently the main method utilized for GO synthesis. Amodied version of each of these essential GO synthesis methods was developed by Tour et al. (2010). The details of these methods are as follows.
Brodie Method: The rst such description of a water-soluble GOwas made by
Brodie in 1859. His investigation, as was customary at thatperiod, was used to determine the weight of graphite. Anumber of chemical reaction exper­iments were undertaken to highlight the physicochemical characteristics of thisunique material. Here, fumic HNO3 was used to oxidize the graphite after mixing it with KClO3. The oxidation that was taking place was moni­tored for any noticeable changes. The blend of GOthat was produced has an elemental makeup of carbon (60%), hydrogen (2%), with oxygen(38%) [19].
Staudenmaier Method: Staudenmaier used sulfuric acid to further modify
Brodie’s process, which was employed in 1898 to oxidize graphite. Sulfuric acid and a number of serial dilutions of KClO3 were added to the solution well before thereaction to make the solution more acidic. However, much as in Brodie’s reaction, explosive ClO2 gas was produced throughout the reaction and contributed to the explosions since it decomposed quickly in the air. Staudenmaier’s modications, on the other hand, were effective in producing a highly oxidized variant of graphite [20].
Hummers Method: Hummers and Offeman (1958) had established an alter-
nate method for the oxidation of graphite to produce GO bytaking into account the sluggish and risky reaction conditions of Staudenmaier’s method. A water-soluble brownish-gray paste of GO was produced by combining sodium nitrate (NaNO3), potassium permanganate (KMnO4), and concentrated H2SO4 in different stoichiometric ratios and mix­ing with graphite. A yellowish-brown mixture was produced when the reaction was subsequently suspended with water, and contaminants like manganese were removed using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Eventual ly, the combination underwent further ltration and water washing. Although the degree of oxidation in GOattained by Hummers techniques is com­parable to Staudenmaier, there is a signicant decrease in reaction time under secured reaction circumstances. The time-consuming separating procedure was the main aw in the Hummers approach [21]. The further improvements to Hummers’s technique aremostly concentrated on over­reaction time, quality, yield,and quantity of GOwith an improveddegree of oxidation. As a modied Hummers method, several variants and opti­mization techniques are established over GO synthesis.

To ur M et hod : By substituting sodium nitrate with phosphoric acid and intro-
ducing excess KMnO4, Marcano etal. (2010) established a modied ver­sion of the Hummers technique to increase the oxidation and reduce the production of harmful gases like NO2, N2O4, or ClO2. It was asserted that phosphoric acid offers graphite more integral basal planes. The GO that was produced exhibits improved hydrophilicity, oxidation level, and reac­tion efciency [22]. Figure4.3 depicts a quick comparison of conventional procedures with Hummers and its modied versions.
Due to the inertness of the inorganic carbon found in graphite, expanding graphite and dispersing it in a solvent upon oxidation both necessitate strong protic or warm acids [36].
The Hummers method is augmented by the free water oxidation techniques, which benet from the robust interaction among expanded graphite and oxidizing reagents. The free water oxidation-based modied Hummers technique was recently developed by Sun etal. (2013) and Peng etal. (2015). Theseapproachesovercome the limitations of the conventional Hummers method, including producing poisonous gases and using toxic chemicals.
Sun Me thod: Sun and Fugetsu (2013) recently unveiled the rst-ever environ-
mentally friendly strategy and more straightforward technology for synthe­sizing GO. Sulfuric acid was utilized as an acid media, while potassium permanganate served as both an intercalator and an oxidizer. It was sug­gested that the volumetric proliferation of graphitic layers was caused by the complexation of potassium permanganate, which increased the degree of oxidation into the layers. They performed the oxidation reaction using graphite: H2SO4 weight ratio of 1:20 and eliminated all other chemicals from the GO reaction mechanism [23].

104 Carbon-Based Nanocarriers for Drug Delivery
Peng Me thod: Peng etal. (2015)have succeeded in synthesizing a substan-
tially water-soluble GOwith a higher degree of oxidation. They presented a sustainable and scalable mannerGO synthesis technique that relied on sulfuric acid and potassium ferrate (K2FeO4) as an oxidant. The proposed approach was successful in preventing the reaction’s generation of hazard­ous gases and heavy metals. Here, sulfuric acid was used to make a sus­pension of graphite and potassium ferrate, which was then agitated at room temperature for roughly an hour. Additionally, the combination underwent centrifugation and water washing to produce a pure form of GO as the end product [24]. The specics of the parameters and the features of the techniques that have been proposed for the synthesis of GO are outlined in Table4.1 [19–24,40].
4.2.2 synThesis oF reDUceD go (rgo)
Graphene, being a robust nanomaterial, presents several prospects for itsreal-world applications like drug delivery, gene therapy, biosensors, and bioimaging due to its structural and optical characteristics. Unfortunately, large-scale graphene produc­tion is a costly as well as time-consuming approach. Numerous initiatives have been taken to eradicate the oxygen functional sites within GOin order to produce a sub­stance with characteristics analogous to graphene [41].GO can be reduced via chem­ical, thermal,and electrochemical treatments. Nevertheless, the rGO produced by each of the aforementioned methods exhibits distinct surface features, structure, and additional optical and electrical attributes [39,41,42]. The important variables to be considered for GO reduction are the following:
• The elemental composition of obtained rGO (C/O atomic ratio).
• Precision toward the elimination of oxygen group and reduction of oxygen­ated functional entities.
• Mitigation of surface defects of GO.
• Employing environmentally friendly reducing agents.
• Maintaining and enhancing the desirable chemical and physical attributes of the parental GO.
Apart from oxygen functionalities, GO comprisesa persistent sp2 carbon structurethat could be used for C-C bonding and is augmented by the chemical reduction of GO.
At elevated temperatures, the thermal reduction of GOis reliant upon the break­down of oxygen-containing groups. Following the thermal reduction of GO, CO and CO2 gases developed, resulting in nanosheet exfoliation. Other strategies for ther­mal reduction of GO include increased temperature annealing in an inert environ­ment, microwave heating, and high energy light-assisted ash reduction of GO [43]. Perhaps the chemical reduction of GO is currently the simplest and most widely used method for producing reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Chemicals like amino acids,hydrazine, pyrrole, hydroxylamine, hydroquinone, hydrohalic acid, and metal hydrides have been extensively used as reducing agents.

(2007) employed hydrazine hydrate as a reducing agent to reduce a homogeneous dispersion of exfoliated GO. The resulting rGO exhibited a BET surface area of 466m2/g, and elemental compositionrevealed a considerable increase in the C/O ratio of rGO (10.2) upon GO reduction (2.7) [39]. Similarly, vari­ous reducing agents and thermal treatments were applied for the reduction of GO and have been successfully used for drug delivery-related applications [45–47].
