The SEM and HRTEM images of graphene microcrystal (b-GMC) derived from bMCC (bamboo microcrystal cellulose). (a) The SEM image of b-GMC derived from bMCC. (b) A SEM close-view of b-GMC derived from bMCC. The particles of GMC are like thick cabbage leaves, similar with their precursor. (c) A HRTEM image of bMCC derived b-GMC. The image is filled by multiple layers graphene microcrystals in different directions. (d) A different HRTEM image of bMCC derived b-GMC. In this image the b-GMC particles are even smaller, only a few nm and a few layers. The bMCC derived b-GMC is soft and elastic, very different from the lignin derived hard l-GMC.
