title: Self-assembly and embedding of nanoparticles by in situ reduced graphene for preparation of a 3D graphene/nanoparticle aerogel.
abstract: A 3D graphene architecture can be prepared via an in situ self-assembly of graphene prepared by a mild chemical reduction. Fe(3) O(4)  nanoparticles are homogeneously dispersed into graphene oxide (GO) aqueous suspension and a 3D magnetic graphene/Fe(3) O(4)  aerogel is prepared during the reduction of GO to graphene. This provides a general method to prepare 3D graphene/nanoparticle composites for a wide range of applications including catalysis and energy conversion.
