Abstract
This paper presents a new scaffold made from graphene oxide nanosheets, calix[4]arene supramolecules, silk fibroin proteins, cobalt ferrite nanoparticles, and alginate hydrogel (GO-CX[4]/SF/CoFe2O4/Alg). After preparing the composite, we conducted various analyses to examine its structure. These analyses included FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDS, VSM, DLS, and zeta potential tests. Additionally, we performed tests to evaluate the swelling ratio, rheological properties, and compressive mechanical strength of the material. The biological capability of the composite was tested through biocompatiblity, anticancer, hemolysis, antibacterial anti-biofilm assays. Besides, the rheological properties and swelling behaviour of the composite were studied. The results showed that the scaffold is biocompatible with Hu02 cells and the cell viability percentages of 85.23 %, 82.78 %, and 80.18 % for were acquired for 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively. In contrast, the cell viability percentage of BT549 cancer cells were obtained 65.79 %, 60.45 % and 58.16 % for same period which confirmed notable anticancer activity of the product composite. Moreover, a significant antibacterial growth inhibition against E. coli and S. aureus species highlights its potential as an effective antibacterial agent. Furthermore, the observed minimal hemolytic effect (6.56 %) and strong inhibition of P. aeruginosa biofilm formation with a low OD value (0.24) indicate notable hemocompatibility and antibacterial activity.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer, notorious for its grim 10% five-year survival rate, poses significant clinical challenges, largely due to late-stage diagnosis and limited therapeutic options. This review delves into the generation of organoids, including those derived from resected tissues, biopsies, pluripotent stem cells, and adult stem cells, as well as the advancements in 3D printing. It explores the complexities of the tumor microenvironment, emphasizing culture media, the integration of non-neoplastic cells, and angiogenesis. Additionally, the review examines the multifaceted properties of graphene oxide (GO), such as its mechanical, thermal, electrical, chemical, and optical attributes, and their implications in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. GO's unique properties facilitate its interaction with tumors, allowing targeted drug delivery and enhanced imaging for early detection and treatment. The integration of GO with 3D cultured organoid systems, particularly in pancreatic cancer research, is critically analyzed, highlighting current limitations and future potential. This innovative approach has the promise to transform personalized medicine, improve drug screening efficiency, and aid biomarker discovery in this aggressive disease. Through this review, we offer a balanced perspective on the advancements and future prospects in pancreatic cancer research, harnessing the potential of organoids and GO.

Abstract
Technological advancements are leading to an upsurge in demand for functional materials that satisfy several of humankind's needs. In addition to this, the current global drive is to develop materials with high efficacy in intended applications whilst practising green chemistry principles to ensure sustainability. Carbon-based materials, such as reduced graphene oxide (RGO), in particular, can possibly meet this criterion because they can be derived from waste biomass (a renewable material), possibly synthesised at low temperatures without the use of hazardous chemicals, and are biodegradable (owing to their organic nature), among other characteristics. Additionally, RGO as a carbon-based material is gaining momentum in several applications due to its lightweight, nontoxicity, excellent flexibility, tuneable band gap (from reduction), higher electrical conductivity (relative to graphene oxide, GO), low cost (owing to the natural abundance of carbon), and potentially facile and scalable synthesis protocols. Despite these attributes, the possible structures of RGO are still numerous with notable critical variations and the synthesis procedures have been dynamic. Herein, we summarize the highlights from the historical breakthroughs in understanding the structure of RGO (from the perspective of GO) and the recent state-of-the-art synthesis protocols, covering the period from 2020 to 2023. These are key aspects in the realisation of the full potential of RGO materials through the tailoring of physicochemical properties and reproducibility. The reviewed work highlights the merits and prospects of the physicochemical properties of RGO toward achieving sustainable, environmentally friendly, low-cost, and high-performing materials at a large scale for use in functional devices/processes to pave the way for commercialisation. This can drive the sustainability and commercial viability aspects of RGO as a material.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) are constituted of approximately 22 nucleotides and play an important role in the regulation of many physiological functions and diseases. In the last 10 years, an increasing interest has been recorded in studying the expression profile of miRNAs in cancer. Real time-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), microarrays, and small RNA sequencing represent the gold standard techniques used in the last 30 years as detection methods. The advent of nanotechnology has allowed the fabrication of nanostructured biosensors which are widely exploited in the diagnostic field. Nanostructured biosensors offer many advantages: (i) their small size allows the construction of portable, wearable, and low-cost products; (ii) the large surface-volume ratio enables the loading of a great number of biorecognition elements (e.g., probes, receptors); and (iii) direct contact of the recognition element with the analyte increases the sensitivity and specificity inducing low limits of detection (LOD). In this review, the role of nanostructured biosensors in miRNA detection is explored, focusing on electrochemical and optical sensing. In particular, four types of nanomaterials (metallic nanoparticles, graphene oxide, quantum dots, and nanostructured polymers) are reported for both detection strategies with the aim to show their distinct properties and applications.

Abstract
Graphene remains of great interest in biomedical applications because of biocompatibility. Diseases relating to human senses interfere with life satisfaction and happiness. Therefore, the restoration by artificial organs or sensory devices may bring a bright future by the recovery of senses in patients. In this review, we update the most recent progress in graphene based sensors for mimicking human senses such as artificial retina for image sensors, artificial eardrums, gas sensors, chemical sensors, and tactile sensors. The brain-like processors are discussed based on conventional transistors as well as memristor related neuromorphic computing. The brain-machine interface is introduced for providing a single pathway. Besides, the artificial muscles based on graphene are summarized in the means of actuators in order to react to the physical world. Future opportunities remain for elevating the performances of human-like sensors and their clinical applications.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) was initially developed to emulate graphene, but it was soon recognized as a functional material in its own right, addressing an application space that is not accessible to graphene and other carbon materials. Over the past decade, research on GO has made tremendous advances in material synthesis and property tailoring. These, in turn, have led to rapid progress in GO-based photonics, electronics and optoelectronics, paving the way for technological breakthroughs with exceptional performance. In this Review, we provide an overview of the optical, electrical and optoelectronic properties of GO and reduced GO on the basis of their chemical structures and fabrication approaches, together with their applications in key technologies such as solar energy harvesting, energy storage, medical diagnosis, image display and optical communications. We also discuss the challenges of this field, together with exciting opportunities for future technological advances.

Abstract
Fluorescent gold (Au) nanostructures have emerged as burgeoning materials to fabricate nanomaterial assemblies which play a vital role in improving the detection sensitivity and specificity for various biomolecules. In this work, a fluorescence labelled (Rhodamine-B-Isothiocyanate) silica shell with Au metal core (AuNPs@PVP@RITC@SiO2) and a graphene-Au nanostar nanocomposite (rGO-AuNS) are presented as a metal enhanced fluorescence (MEF) material and Raman signal enhancer, respectively. Their composite (AuNPs@PVP@RITC@SiO2NPs/rGO-AuNS) was employed as a dual-mode fluorescence (FL) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoprobe for selective and sensitive detection of T-2 toxin. To comprehend the dual-modality, a core-shell nanostructure, AuNPs@PVP@RITC@SiO2, was functionalized with an aptamer (donor) and adsorbed on the surface of rGO-AuNS through electrostatic forces and π-π stacking which act as a FL quencher and SERS signal enhancer. When exposed to T-2 toxin, the apt-AuNPs@PVP@RITC@SiO2NPs move away from the surface of rGO-AuNS, resulting in the restoration of FL and reduction of the SERS signal. There was distinct linearity between the T-2 toxin concentration and the dual FL and SERS signals with lower limits of detection (LOD) of 85 pM and 12 pM, as compared to the previous methods, respectively. The developed FL and SERS aptasensor presented excellent recovery ratio and RSD in wheat and maize, respectively, as compared with the standard ELISA method. The complementary performances of the developed stratagem revealed a high correlation between the FL and SERS sensing modes with exquisite detection properties.

Abstract
Abstract
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber is soft and comfortable, but its poor strength compared to other synthetic fibers has limited it wide range of applications. This study effectively improved the strength of PAN fibers by adding graphene oxide (GO) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) during PAN spinning. The composite fibers were prepared via gel spinning and subsequent hot drawing process. The results show that the PVA molecular chains embedded into the PAN molecular chain significantly improved the mechanical properties of the hybrid fiber. At the same time, the defect reduced the UV resistance and thermal stability of the hybrid fibers only when the PVA molecular was introduced in the PAN. Surprisingly, after the recomposition of GO in the above mixed polymer system, the interaction between the GO and matrix not only improved the mechanical properties of the fiber, but also enhanced the UV resistance and thermal stability. In addition, when the amount of GO was 0.3 wt%, the crystallinity of the GO/PVA/PAN composite fiber reached the maximum and the tensile strength was the highest. This strategic approach suggests an effective method to prepare graphene-based ternary composites fibers with high strength and novel functional characteristics.

[PMID: 35415303 PMCID: PMC8968451 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2022.03.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2022] [Revised: 03/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Infections caused by bacteria threaten human health, so how to effectively kill bacteria is an urgent problem. We therefore synthesized a NH2-MIL-125-GO-Pt ternary composite heterojunction with graphene oxide (GO) and platinum (Pt) nanoparticles co-doped with metal-organic framework (NH2-MIL-125) for use in photocatalytic and photothermal synergistic disinfection under white light irradiation. Due to the good conductivity of GO and the Schottky junction between Pt and MOF, the doping of GO and Pt will effectively separate and transfer the photogenerated electron-hole pairs generated by NH2-MIL-125, thereby effectively improving the photocatalytic efficiency of NH2-MIL-125. Meanwhile, NH2-MIL-125-GO-Pt has good photothermal effect under white light irradiation. Therefore, the NH2-MIL-125-GO-Pt composite can be used for effective sterilization. The antibacterial efficiency of NH2-MIL-125-GO-Pt against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were as high as 99.94% and 99.12%, respectively, within 20 min of white light irradiation. In vivo experiments showed that NH2-MIL-125-GO-Pt could effectively kill bacteria and promote wound healing. This work brings new insights into the use of NH2-MIL-125-based photocatalyst materials for rapid disinfection of environments with pathogenic microorganisms. The NH2-MIL-125-GO-Pt ternary heterojunction is constructed by a simple hydrothermal method and in-situ growth method. Two electron-hole pair separation paths are constructed in NH2-MIL-125-GO-Pt. The unique porous structure and characteristics of NH2-MIL-125-GO-Pt can effectively adsorb oxygen and generate ROS. NH2-MIL-125-GO-Pt can treat wounds infected by bacteria with excellent biosafety.

Abstract
Does larger graphite flake size always lead to larger and better graphene oxide (GO)? Is there an optimum size to balance between the large building blocks needed and the defects generated during oxidation? In this study, the effect of using four different graphite flake sources on the size, structure, and properties of GO and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was investigated. GO was mainly prepared by the enhanced synthesis method except for the smallest graphite size, which could not be expanded before oxidation. The effect of the flakes' lateral size and thickness on the expansion volume was also studied. Several characterization techniques were performed throughout this work, and their results provide evidence of how the graphite size changes not only the expansion volume of the chemically expanded graphite (CEG) as well as the final properties of GO or rGO but also the presence of organosulfate impurities, defects, wide size distribution, and the harsh oxidation reaction itself.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) was prepared from the graphite electrode of waste dry cells, and the application of the prepared GO as a potential adsorbent for rapid and effective removal of an antibiotic, azithromycin (AZM), has been investigated. The synthesis process of GO is very simple, cost-effective, and eco-friendly. As-prepared GO is characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller sorptometry, and zeta potential analysis. The obtained GO has been employed for removal of the widely used AZM antibiotic from an aqueous solution. The quantitative analysis of AZM before and after adsorption has been carried out by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The adsorption of AZM by GO was performed in a batch of experiments where the effects of adsorbent (GO) dose, solution pH, temperature, and contact time were investigated. Under optimum conditions (pH = 7.0, contact time = 15 min, and adsorbent dose = 0.25 g/L), 98.8% AZM was removed from the aqueous solution. The rapid and effective removal of AZM was significantly controlled by the electrostatic attractions and hydrogen bonding on the surface of GO. Adsorption isotherms of AZM onto GO were fitted well with the Freundlich isotherm model, while the kinetic data were fitted perfectly with the pseudo-second order. Therefore, the simple, cost-effective, and eco-friendly synthesis of GO from waste material could be applicable to fabricate an effective and promising low-cost adsorbent for removal of AZM from aqueous media.

Abstract
We numerically demonstrate the phase regeneration of eight-phase-shift keying (8PSK) in an organic-Ge hybrid waveguide with 10µm length. Through filling graphene oxide with a high Kerr coefficient and engineering of waveguide dimensions, an ultrahigh nonlinear coefficient with 5.86×106W-1m-1 is attained at 1550 nm. The phase regeneration of 8PSK signal is achieved by using phase-sensitive amplification of the dual-conjugated-pump degenerate four-wave mixing scheme. The error-vector magnitude (EVM), optical signal-to-noise ratio, as well as constellation diagrams of 8PSK signal are also used to evaluate the phase regeneration capacity quantitatively. A reduction of EVM from 39.25% to 1.34% for 8PSK signal is found. The results show great phase regeneration and noise-squeezing ability, which indicate that such a phase-sensitive amplifier of a waveguide can find critical promising applications in all-optical signal processing.

Abstract
We experimentally investigate power-sensitive photo-thermal tuning (PTT) of two-dimensional (2D) graphene oxide (GO) films coated on integrated optical waveguides. We measure the light power thresholds for reversible and permanent GO reduction in silicon nitride (SiN) waveguides integrated with one and two layers of GO. For the device with one layer of GO, the power threshold for reversible and permanent GO reduction are ~20 and ~22 dBm, respectively. For the device with two layers of GO, the corresponding results are ~13 and ~18 dBm, respectively. Raman spectra at different positions of a hybrid waveguide with permanently reduced GO are characterized, verifying the inhomogeneous GO reduction along the direction of light propagation through the waveguide. The differences between the PTT induced by a continuous-wave laser and a pulsed laser are also compared, confirming that the PTT mainly depend on the average input power. These results reveal interesting features for 2D GO films coated on integrated optical waveguides, which are of fundamental importance for the control and engineering of GO’s properties in hybrid integrated photonic devices.

Graphene Oxide and Fluorescent-Aptamer-Based Novel Aptasensors for Detection of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Cells. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14153040.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is extremely critical to improve treatment and extend survival. W3 is an aptamer that can specifically bind to mCRC cells with high affinity. Graphene oxide (GO) is a two-dimensional graphitic carbon nanomaterial, which has widely used in constructing biosensors. In this study, we have developed a no-wash fluorescent aptasensor for one-step and sensitive detection of mCRC LoVo cells. It is based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between GO and the W3 aptamer labeled with 5-carboxyfluorescein (FAM). GO can quench the green fluorescence of the FAM-labeled W3 (FAM-W3). In the presence of the target cells, FAM-W3 preferentially binds the target cells and detaches from the surface of GO, leading to the fluorescence of FAM recovery. It was demonstrated that the fluorescence recovery increases linearly in a wide range of 0~107 cells/mL (R2 = 0.99). The GO-based FAM-labeled W3 aptasensor (denoted as FAM-W3-GO) not only specifically recognizes mCRC cell lines (LoVo and HCT116), but also sensitively differentiates the target cells from mixed cells, even in the presence of only 5% of the target cells. Furthermore, FAM-W3-GO was applied to detect LoVo cells in human whole blood, which showed good reproducibility with an RSD range of 1.49% to 1.80%. Therefore, FAM-W3-GO may have great potential for early diagnosis of mCRC. This strategy of GO-based fluorescent aptasensor provides a simple, one-step, and highly sensitive approach for the detection of mCRC cells.

The outstanding chemical and physical properties of 2D materials, together with their atomically thin nature, make them ideal candidates for metaphotonic device integration and construction, which requires deep subwavelength light-matter interaction to achieve optical functionalities beyond conventional optical phenomena observed in naturally available materials. In addition to their intrinsic properties, the possibility to further manipulate the properties of 2D materials via chemical or physical engineering dramatically enhances their capability, evoking new science on light-matter interaction, leading to leaped performance of existing functional devices and giving birth to new metaphotonic devices that were unattainable previously. Comprehensive understanding of the intrinsic properties of 2D materials, approaches and capabilities for chemical and physical engineering methods, the resulting property modifications and novel functionalities, and applications of metaphotonic devices are provided in this review. Through reviewing the detailed progress in each aspect and the state-of-the-art achievement, insightful analyses of the outstanding challenges and future directions are elucidated in this cross-disciplinary comprehensive review with the aim to provide an overall development picture in the field of 2D material metaphotonics and promote rapid progress in this fast emerging and prosperous field.

Abstract
Antibiotic overuse poses a serious food safety problem. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop efficient assays that respond to antibiotics to establish early-warning mechanisms. Here, we prepared a three-dimensional (3D) porous reduced graphene oxide (pRGO) modified electrode, which was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. As a result of the introduction of the 3D pRGO film, the electrocatalytic activity was considerably improved, which could efficiently trigger the redox reaction of rifampicin (RIF). By employing differential pulse voltammetry, the reduction peak current of RIF showed a good linear relationship with the logarithm of the RIF concentration in the range 1.0 × 10-9 to 1.0 × 10-7 mol L-1. The linear equation was ip (-10-6 A) = 3.11 + 0.28 log cRIF (R2 = 0.9908) with a detection limit of 2.7 × 10-10 mol L-1 (S/N = 3). Additionally, the final electrode displayed long stability, good reproducibility and high selectivity, and could detect trace RIF in milk with satisfactory results. This study reveals the great potential in utilizing 3D pRGO to develop efficient electrochemical sensors for safeguarding food safety.

Abstract
Structural colors based on the macro- or nanostructure formation are ubiquitous in nature, having great prospects in many fields as a result of their environmentally friendly and long-term stable characteristics compared to pigments or dyes. However, the current fabrication techniques still face challenges for the generation of high-quality structural color patterns, especially at the macroscale, in an efficient way. Here, we demonstrate a method that exploits a flexible scanning process of generating macropatterns to convert the contour profiles into well-defined sub-micrometer grating structures with unprecedented vivid structural colors, at high speed and low cost on the graphene oxide film. The nature of dynamic beam shaping of the laser line spot allows us to flexibly construct the complex patterns at high speed, in sharp contrast to the traditional point-by-point laser processing. Moreover, the multicolor display of the patterns can be carried out by simply modulating the laser polarization to change the orientation of the sub-micrometer structures, and this nanopainting strategy is further explored to flexibly design the composite image for potential anti-counterfeiting applications.

Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate enhanced spectral broadening of femtosecond optical pulses after propagation through silicon-on-insulator (SOI) nanowire waveguides integrated with two-dimensional (2D) graphene oxide (GO) films. Owing to the strong mode overlap between the SOI nanowires and the GO films with a high Kerr nonlinearity, the self-phase modulation (SPM) process in the hybrid waveguides is significantly enhanced, resulting in greatly improved spectral broadening of the femtosecond optical pulses. A solution-based, transfer-free coating method is used to integrate GO films onto the SOI nanowires with precise control of the film thickness. Detailed SPM measurements using femtosecond optical pulses are carried out, achieving a broadening factor of up to ~4.3 for a device with 0.4-mm-long, 2 layers of GO. By fitting the experimental results with the theory, we obtain an improvement in the waveguide nonlinear parameter by a factor of ~3.5 and in the effective nonlinear figure of merit (FOM) by a factor of ~3.8, relative to the uncoated waveguide. Finally, we discuss the influence of GO film length on the spectral broadening and compare the nonlinear optical performance of different integrated waveguides coated with GO films. These results confirm the improved nonlinear optical performance of silicon devices integrated with 2D GO films.

Abstract
Electrochemical processes are an effective method for detecting dangerous food ingredients. The synergetic between the reduction-oxidation (redox) processes inspired several papers and spurred research towards studying the new materials that can further adapt to optimize the rapid detection of chemical compounds. In this study, we report the eco-synthesis using graphene/TiO2 rutile (G/TiO2) electrode microstructures easily prepared through the physical method by mixing graphene and TiO2 powder and its application for sensing L-tryptophan (Trp) compound. The material characterization results show that the graphene surface is smoother than the G/TiO2 material. Graphene has been detected using X-ray diffraction (XRD) at a value of 2 thetas 26.39° and TiO2 forms rutile crystals (110). The FTIR spectrum exhibits the functional groups from graphene of -OH, C-H, C=C, C-O, and TiO2 identified with Ti-O bonds. The electrochemical test against G/TiO2 electrode microstructures for Trp compound shows that 0.5 g TiO2 rutile was the best composition functionalized with graphene material under 0.1M K3[Fe(CN)6] + 0.1M NaNO3 electrolyte with a scan rate of 0.1 V/s. Determination of the detection limit was obtained at 0.005 mg/L with a HorRat value of 1.05%. The stability test was carried out for 25 days, and the addition of Pb(NO3)2 as an interference compound had a significant effect on the decrease in electrode performance.

Abstract
Due to the good biocompatibility and flexibility of cellulose and the excellent optical, electronic, as well as mechanical properties of carbon nanomaterials (CNMs), cellulose/CNM hybrid materials have been widely synthesized and used in energy storage, sensors, adsorption, biomedicine, and many other fields. In this review, we present recent advances (2016-current) in the design, structural design, functional tailoring and various applications of cellulose/CNM hybrid materials. For this aim, first the interactions between cellulose and CNMs for promoting the formation of cellulose/CNM materials are analyzed, and then the hybridization between cellulose with various CNMs for tailoring the structures and functions of hybrid materials is introduced.

Effect of Electrolytic Medium on the Electrochemical Reduction of Graphene Oxide on Si(111) as Probed by XPS. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 12:nano12010043. [PMID: 35009993 PMCID: PMC8747037 DOI: 10.3390/nano12010043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2021] [Revised: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 12/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
The wafer-scale integration of graphene is of great importance in view of its numerous applications proposed or underway. A good graphene–silicon interface requires the fine control of several parameters and may turn into a high-cost material, suitable for the most advanced applications. Procedures that can be of great use for a wide range of applications are already available, but others are to be found, in order to modulate the offer of different types of materials, at different levels of sophistication and use. We have been exploring different electrochemical approaches over the last 5 years, starting from graphene oxide and resulting in graphene deposited on silicon-oriented surfaces, with the aim of understanding the reactions leading to the re-establishment of the graphene network. Here, we report how a proper choice of both the chemical environment and electrochemical conditions can lead to a more controlled and tunable graphene–Si(111) interface. This can also lead to a deeper understanding of the electrochemical reactions involved in the evolution of graphene oxide to graphene under electrochemical reduction. Results from XPS, the most suitable tool to follow the presence and fate of functional groups at the graphene surface, are reported, together with electrochemical and Raman findings.

ACS PHOTONICS 2021; 8:2713-2721.

Abstract
The heterogeneous integration of low-dimensional materials with photonic waveguides has spurred wide research interest. Here, we report on the experimental investigation and the numerical modeling of enhanced nonlinear pulse broadening in silicon nitride waveguides with the heterogeneous integration of few-layer WS2. After transferring a few-layer WS2 flake of ∼14.8 μm length, the pulse spectral broadening in a dispersion-engineered silicon nitride waveguide has been enhanced by ∼48.8% in bandwidth. Through numerical modeling, an effective nonlinear coefficient higher than 600 m-1 W-1 has been retrieved for the heterogeneous waveguide indicating an enhancement factor of larger than 300 with respect to the pristine waveguide at a wavelength of 800 nm. With further advances in two-dimensional material fabrication and integration techniques, on-chip heterostructures will offer another degree of freedom for waveguide engineering, enabling high-performance nonlinear optical devices, such as frequency combs and quantum light sources.

Abstract
Super-resolution optical imaging is a consistent research hotspot for promoting studies in nanotechnology and biotechnology due to its capability of overcoming the diffraction limit, which is an intrinsic obstacle in pursuing higher resolution for conventional microscopy techniques. In the past few decades, a great number of techniques in this research domain have been theoretically proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Graphene, a special two-dimensional material, has become the most meritorious candidate and attracted incredible attention in high-resolution imaging domain due to its distinctive properties. In this article, the working principle of graphene-assisted imaging devices is summarized, and recent advances of super-resolution optical imaging based on graphene are reviewed for both near-field and far-field applications.
