title: Pristine Graphene Aerogels by Room-Temperature Freeze Gelation.
abstract: Aerogels can be fabricated from pristine graphene exfoliated nanosheets using freeze gelation with nonaqueous solvents and no heat treatment or reduction stage. Solvents are selected that disperse pristine graphene with a melting point above room temperature but with a high vapor pressure above the solid at room temperature, enabling sublimation (freeze drying) under ambient conditions.
