Abstract

This work demonstrates a brand-new spongy graphene with a highly enhanced performance as an oil sorbent. The absorption capacity of the new spongy graphene to chloroform reaches 616 times of its own weight, which is approximately 8 times higher than that in previous reports. The absorption capacity towards other organic chemicals is also greatly improved.
