Ordered self-assembly of amphipathic graphene nanosheets into three-dimensional layered architectures

Nanoscale. 2016 Jan 7;8(1):197-203. doi: 10.1039/c5nr06432e.

Abstract

A novel layered graphene-based architecture is achieved via an ordered self-assembly process. Amphipathic graphene nanosheets are joined horizontally into large sheets via edge splicing, and a cross-linking agent of poly(vinyl alcohol) bridges them into integrated three-dimensional monoliths with tunable interlayer spacing. This layered architecture possesses highly ordered and favorable microchannels for molecular transfer.
