This review article discusses the implementation of LIG for energy storage purposes, especially batteries. Since 1991, lithium-ion batteries have been a research subject for energy storage uses in electronics. The uneven distribution of lithium resources and rising costs hamper lithium-based battery growth. Multivalent ion batteries, or MIBs, have gained significant traction as an alternative for large-scale energy storage. Earth's crust is mainly composed of polyvalent ions, such as calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), aluminum (Al3+), zinc (Zn2+), etc. As a result, a lot of research has been done on lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), lithium metal batteries (LMBs), zinc blue ion batteries (ZIBs), etc. Graphite anode is more useful in these batteries due to its high theoretical capacity of 372 mAh g<sup>−1</sup> and proper stability. Recent technological breakthroughs have driven the emergence of graphene-based anodes. Graphene, a single-layer sheet of carbon atoms, offers a large surface area and can serve as a platform adaptable to many needs. There are multiple methods to produce graphene, and the League method stands out with its simplicity, effectiveness, and low cost, making it ideal for diverse applications. It also enables the creation of graphene with tunable properties. In addition, it is a green method and can reduce concerns regarding the increasing production of electronic waste. Green LIG is produced from cellulose materials such as paper and wood, which are environmentally friendly raw materials. Next, it discusses LIG's production process and the laser's critical parameters for graphene fabrication and functionalization. Following this, we delve into recent and promising research in battery research, developed using laser processing techniques, with a particular focus on battery applications. The review concludes by discussing laser technology's main challenges and Potential applications for graphene in energy device manufacturing. One of the main challenges of LIG is that it is difficult to produce thick films. Another challenge is that LIG has high resistance, which can cause ohmic loss in electronic applications. Researchers are currently working on ways to reduce the resistance of LIG without sacrificing its other useful features. Also, this factor can affect its stability and cause aging. Despite these challenges, LIG has the potential to revolutionize the way graphene electrodes are produced, sparking excitement and optimism about the outlook for energy storage solutions. LIG offers a simple, cost-effective approach to producing graphene electrodes with customizable properties, making it a promising candidate to revolutionize the field.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":397,"journal":{"name":"Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects","volume":"40 ","pages":"Article 101347"},"PeriodicalIF":5.45,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142314128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The failure of treatment has abundant reasons, such as inadequate pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics features of existing treatment, low drug targeting, drug resistance, and so on. Therefore, researchers have investigated various nano-structured gold to diagnose and treat HCC. Concerning this concept, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have shown tremendous potential in synergizing chemotherapy and have unique intrinsic theragnostic properties. These nano-golds enhance the retention of the therapeutics in the tumor cells due to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. The EPR effect can increase the permeability effect through different membranes, and thereby, the nano-gold can strike the specific area successfully. In the field of biomedicine, particularly in drug delivery, molecular imaging, and cancer treatment, nano-structured golds are extensively utilized. This evidence indicates that AuNPs decrease the proliferation of cancer cells and ultimately reduce the chances of cancer metastasis.

In this research, UiO-66-NH<sub>2</sub> MOFs were synthesized via a solvothermal technique and functionalized with chitosan-folic acid (CS-FA) as a DDS for targeted doxorubicin (DOX) delivery. The MOF nanoplatforms were characterized via different techniques, including FTIR, PXRD, BET, TEM, DLS, TGA, SEM, and TGA. Remarkably, compared with the unmodified MOF, UiO-DOX@CS-FA delayed DOX release due to a gated effect induced by the CS-FA surface coating. pH-sensitive DOX release was observed, where 39.76 % of the drug was released in the tumour-mimicking pH of 5.2, whereas 5.84 % of the drug was released at physiological pH (7.4). In vitro cellular toxicity and uptake investigations demonstrated that UiO-DOX@CS-FA is a highly effective targeted DDS against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Furthermore, in vivo toxicity studies in Wistar rats revealed no evidence of serious adverse effects. The variety of pharmacokinetic characteristics tested indicated that the bioavailability and release kinetics of DOX improved.
