I would like to know if any carbon allotrope based nanomaterials (such as fullerenes, nanotubes, graphene, reduced graphene, graphene oxide, nanohorns, nanoonions, graphene quantum dots, carbon dots or carbon nanoparticles) have ever been used for imaging/tracking of viruses/ viral protein/ viral genome in vivo/ in vitro. I have read articles where they have been used in conjunction with viruses for imaging tumours or for treatment of diseases with drugs but I am not looking for them. I have been scouring for research works in this area but all I could find were metallic nanoparticles, semiconductor quantum dots and very rarly some polymeric/dendritic materials. However, I could find no literature on carbon allotrope based nanomaterials for virus imaging.
