TLDR
All carbon aerogels with ultralow density and temperature-invariant super-elasticity are fabricated by facile assembling of commercial carbon nanotubes and chemically-converted giant graphene sheets, on the basis of the synergistic effect between elastic CNTs ribs and giant graphene cell walls.
Abstract
All carbon aerogels (up to 1000 cm(3)) with ultralow density (down to 0.16 mg cm(-3)) and temperature-invariant (-190-900 °C) super-elasticity are fabricated by facile assembling of commercial carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and chemically-converted giant graphene sheets, on the basis of the synergistic effect between elastic CNTs ribs and giant graphene cell walls.
