Abstract

Due to high specific surface area, excellent conductivity, low mass density, good compatibility and elegant flexibility, three-dimensional graphene composites with interconnected porous structures possess unusual and novel physical and electronic properties, unsurpassed chemical functionalities and other attractive features. Therefore, different three-dimensional graphene-based nanoporous scaffolds have been extensively designed, prepared and investigated for practical applications in lithium-ion batteries, super-capacitors, solar cells, catalysis, thermal management, environment pollution enrichment and separation, and chemical sensors with high performance from both fundamental and technological viewpoints. To present readers with a better understanding of this kind of important porous material, in this feature article, we will highlight the main achievements made in the preparation of 3D graphene micro- and/or nano-architectures and their potential applications in the aforementioned fields.
