Abstract
Since the discoveries of fullerene C60 in 1985 [1], carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in 1991 [2], and graphene in 2004 [3], carbon-based nanomaterials have generated a great deal of interest in various biomedical applications [4, 5], such as gene delivery [6], optical imaging [7], and nanotherapeutics [8–12] due to their excellent mechanical, optical, and electrical properties [13–15].
