CVD Synthesis of 3D-Shaped 3D Graphene Using a 3D-Printed Nickel-PLGA Catalyst Precursor.

ABSTRACT: Earlier, various attempts to develop graphene structures using chemical and nonchemical routes were reported. Being efficient, scalable, and repeatable, 3D printing of graphene-based polymer inks and aerogels seems attractive; however, the produced structures highly rely on a binder or an ice support to stay intact. The presence of a binder or graphene oxide hinders the translation of the excellent graphene properties to the 3D structure. In this communication, we report our efforts to synthesize a 3D-shaped 3D graphene (3D²G) with good quality, desirable shape, and structure control by combining 3D printing with the atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. Direct ink writing has been used in this work as a 3D-printing technique to print nickel powder-PLGA s
