Abstract

Base-induced graphene oxide (GO) liquid crystals form a highly ordered texture. This microstructure can be inherited by graphene foams prepared by hydrothermal reduction, showing a long-range ordered microstructure of graphene sheets in 3D. This provides an insightful understanding into the supramolecular chemistry of GO sheets.
