Assembly of Lipid-Graphene Heterostructures via Langmuir-Blodgett Deposition

This study presents a novel methodology for constructing lipid-graphene heterostructures by encapsulating graphene within the hydrophobic core of lipid bilayers using the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. Through precise control of the deposition process, we achieve stable and uniform integration of graphene into lipid membranes, preserving the structural integrity and electronic properties of the graphene layer. The resulting heterostructures exhibit enhanced stability and compatibility for applications in bioelectronics and biosensing. Our approach ensures high reproducibility and scalability, enabling the production of large-area lipid-graphene assemblies. These heterostructures demonstrate potential for advanced applications, including biomimetic membranes, drug delivery systems, and graphene-based biointerfaces, due to their unique combination of biocompatibility and electrical conductivity.
