- This reported 'bead-to-sheet' polylithic aerogels by assembling hollow carbon micro-spheres with graphene sheets as cross-linkers. A case study on the application of thermoelectric cells shows the highest output power and maximum energy conversion efficiency among simple U-shaped thermoelectric cells. Such polylithic aerogels represent a new and highly controlled and transferable approach to design and manufacture of many other types of ultra-low density particles based monolithic and polylithic aerogels for a wide range of applications of energy conversion and storage, catalysis and sensors. This work attracted a collaborative grant funded by the Royal Society Newton Fund.
