biostudies-literatureUnknown10Ahmadi SCOVID-19, which was first spread in China in 2019 and consequently spread worldwide, is caused by the SARS-CoV-2. Today, various carbon-based nanomaterials such as graphene, graphene oxide, carbon dots, and carbon nanotubes have been explored for the specific detection and targeted inhibition/inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 due to their great surface chemical structures, easy to-functionalization, biocompatibility, and low toxicity. According to exclusive inherent properties, carbon-based nanomaterials are promising candidates for targeted antiviral drug delivery and the inhibitory effects against pathogenic viruses based on photothermal effects or reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation.  These high-stability nanomaterials exhibited unique physicochemical properties, providing efficient nanoplOpenNano100121https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9937779biostudies-literatureCarbon-based nanomaterials against SARS-CoV-2: Therapeutic and diagnostic applications.PMC9937779Ebrahimi Warkiani MAhmadi SRabiee NRabiee MIravani SfalseCarbon-based nanomaterials against SARS-CoV-2: Therapeutic and diagnostic applications.COVID-19, which was first spread in China in 2019 and consequently spread worldwide, is caused by the SARS-CoV-2.
