Direct Synthesis and Characterization of Three-Dimensional Graphene Foam

Abstract:

Three-dimensional graphene foam (GF) is synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at ~1000°C under ambient pressure. Then it is characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and laser Raman spectroscopy, the results indicate that GF has changed the surface morphology of Ni foam, and ~ 98% of the GF are fewlayer. At last, the surface wettability of GF is investigated, which shows that it is hydrophobic. The special three-dimensional structure and excellent properties of GF make it a candidate for a range of applications.
