Here,...

Publication date: August 2018 Source:Carbon, Volume 134 Author(s): Hye-Rim Kim, Sung-Hyun Lee, Kun-Hong Lee Single-layered graphenes with large sizes were produced by inserting solvent molecules between the graphene layers in graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) followed by direct microwave exfoliation ‘in a solvent’ to prevent re-aggregation....

Publication date: August 2018 Source:Carbon, Volume 134 Author(s): Jun–Jun Shang, Qing-Sheng Yang, Xia Liu, Chao Wang Graphene aerogels (GAs) are a kind of advanced graphene assemblies, which are quite elastic and can easily restore their original form after compression. The macroscale compression behavior of the GAs is the result of microstructural...
