Abstract

Graphene-based aerogels with an ionic liquid (IL) additive have been found to show remarkable anti-fungal activity, preventing the aerogel contamination with Aspergillus niger. When exposed to a volatile organic compound (VOC) saturated microenvironment, this aerogel was highly suitable for the absorption of acetaldehyde, formic acid, acetic acid, and formaldehyde. These combined anti-fungal and VOC absorption properties are prerequisites for bringing preventive conservation to a higher level.
