A peculiar 3D graphene-based architecture, i.e., partial reduced-Graphene Oxide Aerogel Microspheres (prGOAM), having a dandelion-like morphology with divergent microchannels to implement innovative electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is investigated in this paper. prGOAM was used as a scaffold to incorporate exfoliated transition metals dichalcogenide (TMDC) nanosheets, and the final hybrid materials have been tested for HER and photo-enhanced HER. The aim was to create a hybrid material where electronic contacts among the two pristine materials are established in a 3D architecture, which might increase the final HER activity while maintaining accessible the TMDC catalytic sites. The adopted bottom-up approach, based on combining electrospraying with freeze-casting techniques, successfully provides a route to prepare TMDC/prGOAM hybrid systems where the dandelion-like morphology is retained. Interestingly, the microspherical morphology is also maintained in the tested electrode and after the electrocatalytic experiments, as demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy images. Comparing the HER activity of the TMDC/prGOAM hybrid systems with that of TMDC/partially reduced-Graphene Oxide (prGO) and TMDC/Vulcan was evidenced in the role of the divergent microchannels present in the 3D architecture. HER photoelectron catalytic (PEC) tests have been carried out and demonstrated an interesting increase in HER performance. Full article

A novel CoS@Fe3O4@rGO aerogel with a unique 3D porous heterostructure was prepared via the solvothermal method, in which cobalt sulfide (CoS) microspheres embedded with Fe3O4 nanoparticles were randomly scattered on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) flakes. The introduction of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles and rGO regulated the impedance matching, and the excellent electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption capability of the CoS@Fe3O4@rGO aerogel could be attributed to optimal dielectric loss and abundant conductive networks. The results demonstrated that the minimum reflection loss (RL) value of CoS@Fe3O4@rGO aerogel was −60.65 dB at a 2.5 mm coating thickness with an ultra-wide bandwidth of 6.36 GHz (10.24–16.6 GHz), as the filler loading was only 6 wt%. Such a lightweight CoS@Fe3O4@rGO aerogel with an outstanding absorbing intensity and an ultra-wide effective absorption bandwidth could become a potential EMW absorber. Full article
