ABSTRACT: Three-dimensional graphene-based frameworks (3D-GFs) with hierarchical macro- and mesoporous structures are presented. The interconnected macropores are derived from hydrothermally assembled 3D graphene aerogels (GAs), while the mesopores are generated by the silica networks uniformly grown on the surface of graphene. The resulting 3D-GFs exhibit narrow mesopore size distribution (2…
Abstract. A simple and effective strategy is proposed to tune the number of graphene layers by selecting suitable starting graphite, using a chemical exfoliation method. It is found that both the lateral size and the crystallinity of the starting graphite play important roles in the number of graphene layers obtained. Using artificial graphite, flake graphite powder, Kish graphite, and natural…
