Nanoporosity Change on Elastic Relaxation of Partially Folded Graphene Monoliths.

Fabrication of nanographene shows a promising route for production of designed porous carbons, which is indispensable for highly efficient molecular separation and energy storage applications. This process requires a better understanding of the mechanical properties of nanographene in their aggregated structure. We studied the structural and mechanical properties of nanographene monoliths compressed at 43 MPa over different times from 3 to 25 h.
