| Abstract |
Biodegradability of graphene is one of the fundamental parameters determining the fate in vivo of this material. Here, two types of aqueous dispersible graphene, corresponding to single layer (SLG) and few layer graphene (FLG), devoid of either chemical functionalisation or stabilizing surfactants, were subjected to biodegradation by human myeloperoxidase (hMPO) mediated catalysis. Graphene biodegradation was also studied in the presence of activated, degranulating human neutrophils. The degradation of both FLG and SLG sheets was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and electron microscopy analyses, leading to the conclusion that highly dispersed pristine graphene is not biopersistent. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 391. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 October 2023.
All research outputs
#75,545
of 24,930,865 outputs
Outputs from Angewandte Chemie. International Edition
#10
of 48,768 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,585
of 336,487 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Angewandte Chemie. International Edition
#2
of 806 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,930,865 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 99th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 48,768 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.8. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 336,487 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 806 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
