Chemically edge-connected multilayer graphene-based architecture with enhanced thermal stability and dispersibility: experimental evidence of making the impossible possible

Abstract

An edge-connected multilayer graphene-based architecture has been rationally designed for the first time by a covalent/noncovalent one-pot strategy. The novel nanohybrid exhibits enhanced thermal stability and dispersibility simultaneously, indicating the generation of increasing interfacial interactions. The successful fabrication demonstrated that the steric hindrance of each component plays an important role in synthetic reactions based on graphene oxide.
