Graphene and its derivatives, such as graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), exhibit exceptional properties ideal for sensor applications, biocatalysis, and photocatalysis. Recent studies highlight their effectiveness in enhancing detection sensitivity, removing toxic gases, and decontaminating water.

Advancing Asphalt Durability: Harnessing Graphene's Potential for Sustainable Roads Most of the the world's road infrastructure is composed of pavement made from a complex system of asphalt, aggregates, and binders that interact at an interface to maintain its strength and structural stability. According to the Asphalt Institute, 87 million tons of asphalt are produced worldwide annually, with around 85% used in the paving industry, which, while offering great load capacity and durability, inevitably suffers damage from constant exposure to radiation, temperature, humidity, and traffic. The deterioration of asphalt not only impacts a basic transportation infrastructure crucial for socio-economic development but also involves environmental impacts in terms of resource depletion and high CO2 emissions caused by roadworks. These factors add to the reasons for the constant search for modification technologies that increase durability and improve mechanical properties of pavements using fibers, rubber; additives such as thermoplastic elastomers, plastic and synthetic resins, iron powder, hydrated lime, or glass waste. However, in some...
