3D Graphene Foam by Chemical Vapor Deposition: Synthesis, Properties, and Energy-Related Applications

C. Banciu, Florin Năstase, Anca-Ionela Istrate, L. Monica Veca

Abstract

In this review, we highlight recent advancements in 3D graphene foam synthesis by template-assisted chemical vapor deposition, as well as their potential energy storage and conversion applications. This method offers good control of the number of graphene layers and porosity, as well as continuous connection of the graphene sheets. The review covers all the substrate types, catalysts, and precursors used to synthesize 3D graphene by the CVD method, as well as their most viable energy-related applications.
