SORPTIVE ACTIVITY AND HYDROPHOBIC BEHAVIOR OF AEROGELS BASED ON REDUCED GRAPHENE OXIDE AND CARBON NANOTUBES

A study has been made of the possibility of obtaining three-dimensional porous aerogel structures based on reduced graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes in the structure of the fi nished aerogel based on reduced graphene oxide were grown by thermal decomposition of ferrocene into cyclopentadienyl and iron ions which served as the source of carbon and a catalyst respectively. The obtained composite aerogels exhibit high sorptive activity for organic liquids of different densities.
