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.
