N2 - A seashell-based CVD technique for preparing three-dimensional (3D) graphene foams is reported. The graphene sheets in thus-obtained foams are seamlessly interconnected into a 3D flexible network, forming highly porous materials with negligible non-carbon impurities, ultralow density, and outstanding mechanical flexibility and electrical conductivity. These 3D graphene foams demonstrate a fast adsorption performance toward various oils and organic solvents, with adsorption capacity up to 250-fold weight gain. The present approach offers a practical route for scalable construction of 3D graphene foams for versatile applications such as energy storage and water remediation.
