Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a new virus in the coronavirus family that causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19), emerges as a big threat to the human race. To date, there is no medicine and vaccine available for COVID-19 treatment. While the development of medicines and vaccines are essentially and urgently required, what is also extremely important is the repurposing of smart materials to design effective systems for combating COVID-19. Graphene and graphene-related materials (GRMs) exhibit extraordinary physicochemical, electrical, optical, antiviral, antimicrobial, and other fascinating properties that warrant them as potential candidates for designing and development of high-performance components and devices required for COVID-19 pandemic and other futuristic calamities. In this article, we discuss the potential of graphene and GRMs for healthcare applications and how they may contribute to fighting against COVID-19.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）是冠状病毒家族中的一种新型病毒，可引发冠状病毒病（COVID-19），它已成为人类的一大威胁。迄今为止，尚无用于治疗COVID-19的药物和疫苗。虽然药物和疫苗的研发至关重要且迫在眉睫，但同样极其重要的是重新利用智能材料来设计对抗COVID-19的有效系统。石墨烯及与石墨烯相关的材料（GRMs）具有非凡的物理化学、电学、光学、抗病毒、抗菌及其他迷人特性，这使它们有潜力成为设计和开发应对COVID-19大流行及其他未来灾难所需的高性能组件和设备的候选材料。在本文中，我们将讨论石墨烯和GRMs在医疗保健应用中的潜力，以及它们如何为抗击COVID-19做出贡献。
