Abstract

Nanostructured carbon with assembled building blocks in diverse scales is of great importance for energy storage [1–3]. Graphene, as a two-dimensional crystal composed by sp2 carbon atoms, has been assembled into three-dimensional (3D) macroscopic fibers [4], films [5, 6] and hybrids [7, 8], as well as porous materials [9–12] with multifunctional properties and applications.
