TL;DR: Using free-standing, lightweight, and highly conductive ultrathin graphite foam (UGF), loaded with lithium iron phosphate (LFP), as a cathode in a lithium ion battery presented excellent electrochemical stability comparing to that of Al and Ni foils.

TL;DR: This work presents the production of a free-standing ‘‘paperlike’’ material composed of TWEEN and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) platelets and obtained by simple filtration of a homogeneous aqueous colloidal suspension of TweEN/RGO hybrid, which was highly stable in water without leakage of T WEEN and is compliant and sufficiently robust to be handled by hand without breaking.

TL;DR: A method for growing polymers directly from the surface of graphene oxide using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is demonstrated and the resulting materials were found to significantly improve the solubility properties of grapheneoxide.

TL;DR: In this paper, carbon atoms decomposed from methane in a metal substrate at high temperatures were precipitated on metal surfaces upon cooling, and large area uniform few-layer graphene (FLG)/graphite films were transferred to glass slides after dissolving the metal substrate in an aqueous solution of Fe(NO3)3.

TL;DR: This work provides a route to enhancing the electrical properties of CVD-grown graphene even when it has a thin polymer coating, thanks to electron donation to graphene by the -NH2 functional group in formamide that is absorbed in the polymer residue.
