Synthesis of Aerographite-Gallium Nitride (AG-GaN) 3D hybrid network (NW) from Aerographite template.
(a) Schematic representation for the growth of (AG-GaN) hybrid network on AG template in a single step HVPE growth process. (b) Digital photograph of AG-GaN hybrid network placed on a lightweight plant seed. (c–e) Low to high magnification scanning electron microscopy images from grown AG-GaN hybrid NW showing the growth of GaN nano- and microstructures on the tubular network of the AG template.
