Abstract:
Studies on the adsorption and transport of water molecules with oxidized two-dimensional (2 D) carbon materials have attracted increasing interest owing to their wide range of applications, such as sensing, energy conversion, and membrane separation. In this contribution, the interaction between water molecules and oxidized 2 D carbon materials (i.e., graphene oxide and graphdiyne oxide) is discussed, the influence of water adsorption and transport on the physicochemical properties of 2 D carbon materials is presented, and the recent progress on oxidized 2 D carbon material-based proton conduction, electricity generation, water transport, and humidity sensing is highlighted. The opportunities and challenges in these research fields are discussed, especially the structural stability and chemical modification of 2 D carbon materials.

Forms of CO2 Transport
1. Dissolved in plasma: A small percentage (7-10%) of CO2 is transported and dissolved directly in the plasma.
2. Carbaminohemoglobin: Just over 20% of CO2 is chemically bound to...
Pyruvate Oxidation
First, the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase removes the carboxyl group from pyruvate and releases it as carbon dioxide. The stripped molecule is then oxidized and releases electrons, which are then picked up by NAD+...
