Rice Scientists Create 3D Objects Using Graphene Foam

Rice University scientists have developed a new process to create conductive, 3D objects from graphene foam.

 

The process is an extension of the Tour lab’s breakthrough which produced the first laser-induced graphene (LIG) in 2014 by heating inexpensive polyimide plastic sheets with a laser.

According to the Tour group, the laser burns halfway through the plastic and turns the top into interconnected flakes of 2D carbon that remain attached to the bottom half.
