The unique properties of graphene and graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites make them suitable for a wide range of medical, industrial, and agricultural applications. The addition of graphene or GO to a polymeric matrix can ameliorate its thermo-mechanical, electrical, and barrier characteristics. The present paper reviews the literature on graphene/GO-based bio-nanocomposites and examines the various fabrication methods, such as chemical vapor deposition, chemical synthesis, microwave synthesis, the solvothermal method, molecular beam epitaxy, and colloidal suspension. Each procedure potentially has its disadvantages, especially for mass production. Therefore, introducing an effective method for fabricating graphene on a large scale with high quality is essential. Recent studies have shown that graphene-based bio-nanocomposites are promising materials given their excellent performance in the development of biosensors, drug delivery systems, antimicrobials, modified electrodes, and energy storage systems among other applications. In this review, we evaluate the various procedures used for developing graphene/GO-based bio-nanocomposites and examine the features and applications of the related products. Furthermore, the toxicity of these compounds and attempts to uncover the optimal combinations of biopolymers and carbon nanomaterials for industrial applications will be discussed.
石墨烯和氧化石墨烯（GO）纳米复合材料的独特性质使它们适用于广泛的医疗、工业和农业应用。在聚合物基质中添加石墨烯或 GO 可以改善其热机械、电气和阻隔特性。本文综述了基于石墨烯/GO 的生物纳米复合材料的文献，并研究了各种制备方法，如化学气相沉积、化学合成、微波合成、溶剂热法、分子束外延和胶体悬浮液。每种方法都可能有其缺点，特别是对于大规模生产而言。因此，引入一种有效的方法来大规模制备高质量的石墨烯至关重要。最近的研究表明，基于石墨烯的生物纳米复合材料是很有前途的材料，因为它们在生物传感器、药物输送系统、抗菌剂、修饰电极和储能系统等应用中的优异性能。在本综述中，我们评估了用于开发石墨烯/GO 基生物纳米复合材料的各种方法，并研究了相关产品的特性和应用。此外，还将讨论这些化合物的毒性以及为工业应用而试图揭示生物聚合物和碳纳米材料的最佳组合的问题。
