Controllable Fabrication: Interconnected Graphene Networks with Uniform Geometry for Flexible Conductors (Adv. Funct. Mater. 39/2015)

A chemical vapor deposition approach for 3D controllable fabrication of macroscopically interconnected and conductive graphene networks with controllable patterns, pore and skeleton sizes and orientation angle, is reported by G. Cheng and co-workers on page 6165, using a metallic template of lithographically fabricated Ni scaffold. The obtained graphene networks display higher electrical conductivity, remarkably mechanical stability in stretching and bending tests, and excellent performance as a freestanding supercapacitor electrode.
