Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) is a two-dimensional metastable nanomaterial. Interestingly, GO formed oxygen clusterings in addition to oxidized and graphitic phases during the low-temperature thermal annealing process, which could be further used for biomolecule bonding. By harnessing this property of GO, we created a bio-interface with patterned structures with a common laboratory hot plate that could tune cellular behavior by physical contact. Due to the regional distribution of oxygen clustering at the interface, we refer to it as patterned annealed graphene oxide (paGO). In addition, since the paGO was a heterogeneous interface and bonded biomolecules to varying degrees, arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) was modified on it and successfully regulated cellular-directed growth and migration. Finally, we investigated the FRET phenomenon of this heterogeneous interface and found that it has potential as a biosensor. The paGO interface has the advantages of easy regulation and fabrication, and the one-step thermal reduction method is suitable for biological applications. We believe that this low-temperature thermal annealing method would make GO interfaces more accessible, especially for the development of nano-interfacial modifications for biological applications, revealing its potential for biomedical applications.
