Research Outline

In this work, a new family of elastic nanoporous materials is synthesized by using graphene-like carbon as a framework component. These elastic materials can be contracted/recovered like a sponge continuously and reversibly by a mechanical force, and more importantly, their micropores are also contracted/recovered.
