Problems solved by technology

In the above methods, self-assembly is used to form three-dimensional graphene materials through chemical reactions. In practical applications, even if they can be well dispersed, they are dispersed in spherical form. Graphene balls or graphene flowers are not easy to disperse into monomer graphene. This weakens the excellent properties of graphene sheets and limits its application range.
Moreover, the prepared graphene has a small density and a large volume, which will take up a lot of space during transportation and storage, resulting in a waste of resources.
