Nanomaterials: An alternative approach for Prevention and diagnosis of the emerging COVID-19
ABSTRACT
Coronavirus has evolved from the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) family known to create an illness in 2019 named as COVID-19 illness which is pervasive as the greatest menace to mankind. This pandemic is not only a health crisis but a socio-economic crisis that is hitting the world. Because it is causing stress in the nations it affects, and because it has the potential to have severe economic, political and social consequences with long-term consequences. Government bodies, researchers and scientists are working day and night to come up with ways, treatments and vaccines to combat COVID-19. Recent studies have led the researchers to pay attention and make good use of nanomaterials to help them fight against the global pandemic of COVID-19. Graphene and the graphene related materials have fascinating properties like antiviral, optical, antimicrobial, physiochemical, and many other extraordinary properties that make them a contender for the formation and design of high-tech devices and devices that can be used to combat infection during the COVD-19 pandemic and for other future uses. Due to its highly helpful qualities in the eradication of viruses, graphene and its composites can be utilized in the creation of diagnostic tests as well as in therapies. As a result, using graphite nanoparticles in biomedical applications is a viable strategy for limiting viral pandemics at the local, national, and international levels.
