Thermoresponsive properties of counteraction-engineered graphene-oxide (GO) nanosheets

Caption

GO nanosheets with tetrabutylammonium countercations undergo a sol–gel transition upon heating, moving from a disassembled lamellar structure to an assembled interconnected network. This technology can be harnessed as a direct writing ink for constructing three-dimensionally designable gel architectures.
