There are three valence-bond hybridization states of carbon: sp, sp<sup>2<\/sup>, and sp<sup>3<\/sup>. Different forms of carbon atoms can combine together in many possible forms, producing various carbon allotropes with diverse morphologies and properties. For instance, diamond and graphite, two natural carbon allotropes consisting of an extended framework of sp<sup>3<\/sup>&#8211; and sp<sup>2<\/sup>-hybridized carbon atoms, respectively, possess highly different physical properties. To study specific properties and enrich the application of carbon allotropes, a large number of scientists have contributed efforts to the design and fabrication of novel carbon allotropes. Fullerenes, zero-dimension carbon nanostructures, were synthesized in 1985.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/nanostructured-graphdiyne-synthesis-and-biomedical-applications-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0001\" id=\"ref-cit0001\">1<\/a><\/sup> One-dimension carbon nanotubes were fabricated in 1991.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/nanostructured-graphdiyne-synthesis-and-biomedical-applications-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0002\" id=\"ref-cit0002\">2<\/a><\/sup> Graphene, a two-dimensional monolayer of carbon atoms, was constructed in 2004.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/nanostructured-graphdiyne-synthesis-and-biomedical-applications-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0003\" id=\"ref-cit0003\">3<\/a><\/sup> All of these synthetic carbon materials consist of sp<sup>2<\/sup>-hybridized carbon scaffolding and exhibit high conjugation and excellent electrical conductivity. Extensive theoretic and experimental research on novel carbon allotropes with different hybridized carbon atoms and their derivatives have prompted the development of the carbon family greatly.<\/p>\n<p>Given this background, making full use of the three hybridized carbon atoms is of great significance. The structure and properties of graphdiyne (GDY) were firstly predicted by RH Baughman in 1987.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/nanostructured-graphdiyne-synthesis-and-biomedical-applications-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0004\" id=\"ref-cit0004\">4<\/a><\/sup> He estimated such planar carbon phases were comprised of sp- and sp<sup>2<\/sup>-hybridized carbon atoms with high expected stability.

They fight pathogenic bacteria efficiently through multiple antibacterial mechanisms simultaneously, including destroying membranes and generating ROS.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/nanostructured-graphdiyne-synthesis-and-biomedical-applications-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0108\" id=\"ref-cit0108\">108<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/nanostructured-graphdiyne-synthesis-and-biomedical-applications-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0109\" id=\"ref-cit0109\">109<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>In 2019, Zhang et al confirmed that GDYO is potent against <em>Escherichia coli<\/em> and <em>Staphylococcus aureus<\/em> dependent on visible light irradiation, bacterial species and time, which sheds light on enhancing the performance of graphdiyne-based nanomaterials (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/nanostructured-graphdiyne-synthesis-and-biomedical-applications-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#f0015\" id=\"ref-f0015\">Figure 15<\/a>).<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/nanostructured-graphdiyne-synthesis-and-biomedical-applications-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#cit0110\" id=\"ref-cit0110\">110<\/a><\/sup> Surface oxidation on GDY nanosheets endowed GDYO better dispersity in an aqueous solution and antibacterial efficiency.

Highly conjugated \u03c0 bonding, uniformly distributed pores and linear acetylenic linkages endow GDY with great prospects in wide application. Fabricating this novel carbon allotrope with different morphologies is a reliable approach to enhancing its electronic and mechanical properties. In this review, we have summarized current advances in structure-controlled synthesis for GDY. Different morphologies of GDY like quantum dots, nanotubes, nanowires, nanoribbons, nanowalls, nanosheets, ordered stripe arrays and nanospheres have prompted its development, turning the theoretical prediction of GDY into possible applications. Extraordinary efforts have been paid to realize GDY\u2019s practical use in the field of photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, energy storage, etc., which exhibits greater potential than many other carbon materials. This review outlines the promising biomedical applications of GDY and its derivatives. Owing to the carbon triple bonds, GDY has a high capacity for atoms and in situ catalysis, which facilitates it to become sensitive and selective biosensors for some molecules in human. Optical properties and loading capacity make GDY a versatile theranostic platform for cancer. GDY displays resistance to radiation and bacteria.<\/p>\n<p>However, studies of GDY are still in their infancy and moving GDY and its derivatives from experimental studies to the clinical practice still requires much efforts. First, because the limited yield of GDY restricts its practical applications, large-scale and cost-effective production should be the theme of future research. Meanwhile, manufacturing of GDY-based materials with reproducibility and reliability is necessary as batch-to-batch variations would affect their physicochemical properties. Secondly, massive clinical trials and studies are needed to investigate the behavior and functionality of GDY-based materials before their practical uses, such as metabolism, biocompatibility, biodegradability and toxicity. Despite studies indicating that GDY and its derivatives are safer than other carbon-based materials, the biotoxicity of GDY remains unknown, which is highly affected by their particular form, such as the size, morphology, chemical structure. Thus, a thoroughgoing understanding of short-term and long-term toxicity profile of GDY in vitro and in vivo is required. Third, efforts should be taken in precisely and accurately constructing nanostructured GDY with designed size and morphologies or modifying GDY via chemical functionalization and doping. This could endow GDY with improved physical, chemical and electrical properties and develop applications of GDY and its derivatives in various fields.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, GDY-based nanomaterials with unique advantages are promising in biomedical applications, yet there are problems remaining to be addressed to bring GDY from theoretical research to the clinic. We believe that these challenges will be resolved and GDY will play a more significant role in biomedical applications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Acknowledgment<\/h2>\n<p>This work was supported by grants from the fellowship of the Guangzhou Science and Technology Plan Project (202201011527) and Guangdong Basic and Applied Basic Research Foundation (2021A1515110267).<\/p>\n<h2>Disclosure<\/h2>\n<p>The authors report no conflicts of interest in this work.<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p id=\"cit0001\" class=\"$reftext\"><a name=\"cit0001\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/nanostructured-graphdiyne-synthesis-and-biomedical-applications-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJN#ref-cit0001\">1.<\/a> Kroto HW, Heath JR, O\u2019Brien SC, Curl RF, Smalley RE.
