▎ 摘  要

Inspired by the role of cellular structures, which give three-dimensional robustness to graphene structures, a new type of graphene cantilever with mechanical resilience is introduced. Here, NH4SCN is incorporated into graphene oxide (GO) gel using it as a coagulant for GO fiber self-assembly, a foaming agent, and a dopant. Subsequent thermal treatment of the GO fiber at 600 degrees C results in the evolution of gaseous species from NH4SCN, yielding internally porous graphene cantilevers (NS-GF cantilevers). The results reveal that NS-GF cantilevers are doped with N and S and thus exhibit higher electrical conductivity (150 S cm(-1)) than that of their nonporous counterparts (38.4 S cm(-1)). Unlike conventional fibers, the NS-GF cantilevers exhibit mechanical resilience by bending under applied mechanical force but reverting to the original position upon release. The tip of the NS-GF cantilevers is coated with magnetic Fe3O4 particles, and fast mechanical movement is achieved by applying the magnetic field. Since the NS-GF cantilevers are highly conductive and elastic, they are employed as bendable, magnetodriven electrical switches that could precisely read on/off signals for >10 000 cycles. Our approach suggests a robust fabrication strategy to prepare highly electroconductive and mechanically elastic foam structures by introducing unique organic foaming agents.
