▎ 摘  要

NOVELTY - Method (m1) of forming a composite material comprises: (a) providing (110) three-dimensional graphene having hollow channels; (b) enabling (120) a polymer to wick into the hollow channels of the three-dimensional graphene; (c) curing (130) the polymer to form a cured three-dimensional graphene; (d) adding (140) an active material to the cured three-dimensional graphene to form a composite material; and (e) removing (160) the polymer from within the hollow channels. USE - The methods are useful for forming composite materials which are useful in multimodal transport (all claimed). ADVANTAGE - The methods: provide low additive fraction (e.g. very less than 10%) binders that enhance modes of transport; increase the rate at which processes can be carried out in the active material; and increase the maximum packing density of porous active materials by creating crush-resistant transport channels that can maintain both transfer modes even as the bulk material porosity is reduced. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method (m2) of forming a composite material, comprising: providing a three-dimensional network of vapor transport channels enabling a polymer to enter into the vapor transport channels; curing the polymer to form a cured three-dimensional network; adding an active material to the cured three-dimensional network to form a composite material; and removing the polymer from within the vapor transport channels; and #a composite material having at least two layers and formed from the above methods. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows a flow chart for forming the composite material.
