grafitanod
Grafitanod is a theoretical material discussed in speculative nanomaterials literature. It is described as a graphene-based nano-architected composite that aims to combine the exceptional properties of graphene with nanoscale cross-linking nodes to produce a material with high strength-to-weight ratio, tunable electrical conductivity, and enhanced thermal performance.
Structure and properties: In typical sketches, grafitanod consists of graphene-like sheets interconnected at a regular lattice
Synthesis and challenges: There is no experimental realization to date. Proposals rely on theoretical bottom-up synthesis,
Applications and status: If realized, grafitanod could have potential applications in lightweight aerospace composites, energy storage
