In this paper, the possible use of graphene oxide (GO) to destroy SARS-CoV-2 of COVID-19 is modeled A molecular docking approach was first conducted to estimate the binding energy of GO with the spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 virus (SGCoV) A simple space-limited geometry model is used to set up the maximum limit of SARS-CoV-2 that can be absorbed on the GO surface Using the GO surface as a hotbed for virus destruction and utilizing the unique properties of GO (the molecular weight, the area to mass ratio, and the specific heat), we build a thermal-based model to explore the possibility of destroying the adsorbed SARS-CoV-2 on the GO-coated cylindrical probe A hypothetical design of a medical device that could benefit from this model is also proposed here © 2021 by the authors
