The Enzymatic Oxidation of Graphene Oxide

ACS nano

AI-generated Abstract

The study investigates the enzymatic oxidation of graphene oxide (GO) using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as a biocatalyst. Key techniques employed include various spectroscopic measurements (FT-IR, UV-Vis) and electron microscopy (TEM, AFM), which provide insights into the structural modifications of GO during the enzymatic process. The findings demonstrate that enzymatic reactions can effectively modify GO's properties, opening avenues for enhanced applications in material science and biomedicine.
