▎ 摘  要

Graphene aerogel (GA) has attracted great attention due to its unique properties, such as ultralow density, superelasticity, and multi functionality. However, it is a great challenge to develop superelastic and fatigue-resistant GA (SFGA) with ultralow density because it is generally contradictory to improve the mechanical properties with reducing density of GA. Herein, we report a simple and efficient approach to prepare ultralight SFGA templated by graphene oxide liquid crystal (GOLC) stabilized air bubbles. The thus-prepared ultralight SFGA (similar to 2 mg cm(-3)) exhibits superelasticity (rapid recovery from >99% compression) and unprecedented fatigue-resistant performance (maintaining shape integrity after 10(6) compressive cycles at 70% strain and 5 Hz). The ultralow density and excellent dynamic mechanical properties of SFGA are mainly associated with the "volume exclusion effect" of the air bubbles as well as the highly ordered, closely packed, and uniform porous structure of the resultant GA, respectively. This study provides a green and facile strategy for preparing high-performance ultralight SFGA, which has great potential in various applications, including ultrafast dynamic pressure sensors, soft robot, and flexible devices.
