Electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA), also called electrospray technique, has been studied for more than one century. However, since 1990s it has begun to be used to produce and process micro-/nanostructured materials. Owing to the simplicity and flexibility in EHDA experimental setup, it has been successfully employed to generate particulate materials with controllable compositions, structures, sizes, morphologies, and shapes. EHDA has also been used to deposit micro- and nanoparticulate materials on surfaces in a well-controlled manner. All these attributes make EHDA a fascinating tool for preparing and assembling a wide range of micro- and nanostructured materials which have been exploited for use in pharmaceutics, food, and healthcare to name a few. Our goal is to review this field, which allows scientists and engineers to learn about the EHDA technique and how it might be used to create, process, and assemble micro-/nanoparticulate materials with unique and intriguing properties. We begin with a brief introduction to the mechanism and setup of EHDA technique. We then discuss issues critical to successful application of EHDA technique, including control of composition, size, shape, morphology, structure of particulate materials and their assembly. We also illustrate a few of the many potential applications of particulate materials, especially in the area of drug delivery and regenerative medicine. Next, we review the simulation and modeling of Taylor cone-jet formation for a single and co-axial nozzle. The mathematical modeling of particle transport and deposition is presented to provide a deeper understanding of the effective parameters in the preparation, collection and pattering processes. We conclude this article with a discussion on perspectives and future possibilities in this field.

Three-dimensional (3D) graphene materials (3DGMs) are of great importance due to their unique properties and practical applications. A number of 3DGMs with novel structures have been developed in recent years. This review presents the current progress of 3DGMs. After introducing the preparation strategies of 3DGMs, we summarize the reported 3DGMs based on their different structures, and then focus on the description of their preparation methods, properties and applications. Lastly, the applications of 3D graphene-based materials in supercapacitors are described. Broader context In recent years, the assembly of graphene into macroscopic three-dimensional (3D) structures has been attracting intensive interest, because the utilization of 3D graphene materials (3DGMs) is one of the most effective ways to apply the unique properties of two-dimensional (2D) graphene nanosheets in practical applications. For example, the 3D porous graphene lm not only facilitates the access of electrolyte to its surface, but also provides electrically conductive channels for the active materials anchored on it, leading to the enhanced performance of both electric double-layer capacitors and pesudocapacitors. Graphene bers are highly exible and easy to be functionalized, which makes them promising for exible supercapacitors. Until now, a lot of effort has been devoted in order to control the morphologies and properties of 3DGMs, which are mainly aimed at obtaining 3DGMs with a porous structure, large surface area, good electrical conductivity, and high mechanical strength. 3DGMs can also be functionalized and integrated into devices easily, and are compatible with conventional material processing. This review paper summarizes various structures of 3DGMs together with their synthetic methods, properties and applications. In addition, the current challenge of the 3DGMs is also proposed.

“…Specific effects, such as the enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR effect) [14], combined with shape-related effect, such as margination [14,15], assist in the passive targeting of cancer sites via modulating the size and shape of the drug delivery vectors [15][16][17][18][19]. To this end, the easy solution processibility of GO makes it an ideal precursor material for the synthesis of a variety of mesoscale geometrical variants, such as scrolls [19], red blood cell-shaped (rbc-shaped) particles [20], and spheres [21][22][23][24][25].…”

Mesoscale crumpled graphene oxide roses (GO roses) were synthesized by using colloidal graphene oxide (GO) variants as precursors for a hybrid emulsification/rapid evaporation approach. This process produced rose-like, spherical, reduced mesostructures of colloidal graphene oxide, with corrugated surfaces and particle sizes ranging from ~800 nm to 15 μm. The morphology and chemical structure of these produced GO roses was investigated using electron microscopy and spectroscopy techniques. The proposed synthesis route provides control over particle size, morphology and chemical properties of the synthesized GO roses.
