Abstract

This comprehensive review article discusses the potential applications of graphene oxide-silver nanoparticles (GO-Ag NPs) in various fields, including biomedical, catalytic, electrochemical detection, and wastewater treatment technologies. GO-Ag NPs have gained significant attention due to their unique properties, such as excellent electrical, mechanical, and thermal conductivity, as well as their protective capabilities. The review summarizes the different starting materials and reducing agents that have been used to produce GO-Ag NPs with particle sizes ranging from 2 to 90 nm. Furthermore, the article highlights the various applications of GO-Ag NPs, such as their use in drug delivery, bioimaging, and cancer therapy. Additionally, the review discusses the potential of GO-Ag NPs in catalysis, electrochemical detection, and wastewater treatment. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the potential uses of GO-Ag NPs and emphasizes the need for further research to develop more straightforward methods for their production and application.
