Functional graphene nanomesh foam

Abstract

Rationally designed graphene nanomesh assembled foam (GMF) with hierarchical pore arrangement has been successfully fabricated for the first time by a site-localized nanoparticle-induced etching strategy on the basis of hydrothermally self-assembled graphene architecture. The newly developed GMF provides a new material platform for developing high-performance functional devices. Specially, the N- and S-codoped GMF electrode exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activities for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), better than most of the graphene-based ORR catalysts reported previously.
