One-step simultaneous liquid phase exfoliation-induced chirality in graphene and their chirality-mediated microRNA delivery.

ABSTRACT: Graphene (G) has established itself as an exciting prospect for a broad range of applications owing to its remarkable properties. Recent innovations in chiral nanosystems have led to sensors, drug delivery, catalysis, etc. owing to the stereospecific interactions between various nanosystems and enantiomers. As the molecular structure of G itself is achiral introducing chirality in G by simple attachment of a functional group (a chiral ligand) on the G nanosheet may result in more diverse applications. Herein, we demonstrate direct liquid phase exfoliation and chiral induction in G nanosheets abbreviated as l-graphene and d-graphene in the presence of chiral l-tyrosine and d-tyrosine and by applying high-temperature sonication. The obtained exfoliated nanosheets demonstrated stable c
