Graphene aerogels, also known as aerographene, are extremely lightweight materials, seven times lighter than air and 12% lighter than aerographite (the previous record holder for being the lightest material)[1]. In more simple words, one cubic centimeter of graphene aerogels weighs just 160 g/m3. They are not only light in weight, but also have high elasticity and high adsorption. Therefore, graphene aerogels play an important role in many fields such as textiles, energy storage, biology, environmental protection fields.

Applications
Graphene aerogels are used to make warm sportswear that has the potential to protect the wearer from harsh environments as low as minus 321 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, they are also popular materials in the manufacture of space suits.
Graphene aerogels are widely used in the manufacture of super-fast charging batteries. Modern batteries with graphene supercapacitors retain their excellent properties even after long-term use.
Graphene aerogels are great absorbents and can be used for environmental cleaning, such as the adsorption of oil spills. They have the ability to absorb 1000 times their weight in liquid because of the high degree of recoverable compressibility and the overall hardness of the structure.
Graphene aerogels are excellent sources for efficient energy storage and conversion because of their porous hierarchical structure, which provides fast electron/ion transport ability, superb cycling properties, and high physical and chemical stability.
