利用糖浆泡沫可以生产一种3D网状的新型石墨烯。基于古老的“吹糖人”技艺,日本国际材料纳米结构中心的王学斌(Xuebin Wang音译)、阪东义雄(Yoshio Bando)与同事从普通的糖和氯化铵中提取糖浆后加热。这种被气体从氯化铵吹入糖浆泡中的葡萄糖基聚合物称为类黑精。剔除泡沫的糖浆继续加热,就留下了石墨烯的紧密结构。 The use of syrup foam can produce a 3D network of new graphene. Xuebin Wang, Yoshio Bando of Japan’s International Center for Nanostructures Materials, and his colleagues heat up syrup extracted from normal sugar and ammonium chloride based on the ancient “sugar-sweeter” technique. This glucosyl polymer, which is blown into the syrup bubble by the gas from ammonium chloride, is called melanoidin. The foam-free syrup continues to heat, leaving a tight structure of graphene.
