Electrothermal Transformations within Graphene-Based Aerogels through High-Temperature Flash Joule Heating.

ABSTRACT: Flash Joule heating of highly porous graphene oxide (GO) aerogel monoliths to ultrahigh temperatures is exploited as a low carbon footprint technology to engineer functional aerogel materials. Aerogel Joule heating to up to 3000 K is demonstrated for the first time, with fast heating kinetics (∼300 K·min^-1), enabling rapid and energy-efficient flash heating treatments. The wide applicability of ultrahigh-temperature flash Joule heating is exploited in a range of material fabrication challenges. Ultrahigh-temperature Joule heating is used for rapid graphitic annealing of hydrothermal GO aerogels at fast time scales (30-300 s) and substantially reduced energy costs. Flash aerogel heating to ultrahigh temperatures is exploited for the in situ synthesis of ultrafine nanoparticles (P
