Graphene-based 3D lightweight cellular structures: Synthesis and applications

Nanocellulose-Graphene Derivative Hybrids: Advanced Structure-Based Functionality from Top-down Synthesis to Bottom-up Assembly

“…In turn, cellular graphene can be developed by mimicking cellular hierarchical structures , with highly tailored properties for various applications . For instance, Qiu, Liu, et al have successfully assembled ultralight and superelastic 3D cellular graphene aerogels via bottom-up biomimetic assembly with a freezing-drying and reduction approach (Figure C, D). , …”

“…82 For instance, Qiu, Liu, et al 64 have successfully assembled ultralight and superelastic 3D cellular graphene aerogels via bottom-up biomimetic assembly with a freezing-drying and reduction approach (Figure 14C, D). 64,83 This work paved new ways to assemble novel cellular graphene through mimicking bioinspired cellular monolithic structures as wood. Nevertheless, the binding ability of NCs with other nanomaterials, especially GO/rGO, is beneficial for stable and functional cellular monolith structures.…”

Microfluidic synthesis of graphene oxide/MnO2-incorporated self-propelling micromotors for organic dye removal

“…In addition, we incorporated GO into the PEGDA phase. Owing to its extremely large surface area and substantial number of polar groups decorated on its surfaces and edges, [19][20][21][22][23][24]34 GO is well established as a highly effective adsorbent 34 that bestows wastewater treatment capability to micromotors, as demonstrated in Fig. 1c.…”

Controlled synthesis of solid-shelled non-spherical and faceted microbubbles

“…Hollow-structured materials have been extensively investigated for decades because of their intriguing physicochemical properties 1,2 including low specific density, 3 large surface area, 4 high loading capacity, 5 and shorter mass and charge transport lengths. 6 These unique properties make them potentially useful in a variety of applications 7 such as catalysis, 8,9 energy storage, [10][11][12] lightweight structures, 3,13 thermal insulating materials, 14 and biomedical devices. 15 For a given volume, hollow shell structures (e.g., capsules or bubbles) are typically spherical to minimise their surface area due to surface tension.…”
