The original version of this Article contained a typographical error in the Abstract.

“Goraphene derivatives (GD) are currently being evaluated for technological and biomedical applications owing to their unique physico-chemical properties over other carbon allotrope such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs).”

now reads:

“Graphene derivatives (GD) are currently being evaluated for technological and biomedical applications owing to their unique physico-chemical properties over other carbon allotrope such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs).”

This has now been corrected in the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
