Description

The 3D Graphene Foam is made via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processing. In course of CVD fabrication of graphene hydrogen and methane gases are introduced into a furnace that heats to 1000° Celsius. In the furnace is a nickel or copper film which captures a mono or multi-layer or graphene as the furnace is heated and the methane decomposes.To create CVD Graphene Foam, instead of using a thin sheet of nickel to capture graphene, nickel or copper foam is used.

The metal foam captures graphene in a similar foam structure. The metal skeleton is then etched away and left is a visible, porous 3D graphene foam structure.

This structure has a high surface area, which opens several exciting applications for Graphene Foam while maintaining most of two-dimensional graphene’s properties1.CVD processing of Graphene Foam opens a cost-effective route for engineering a new class of ultra-light, highly conductive graphene-based materials with exceptional mechanical strength, flexibility, and elasticity.

Advantages
