Graphene oxide (GO) can efficiently capture viruses, destroy their surface proteins, and extract viral RNA in an aqueous environment by using the superficial bioreduction of GO. It follows from these phenomena that GO is an excellent nanomaterial for the high‐throughput detection and disinfection of viruses, demonstrating its great potential for the prevention of environmental infections.
