Graphene foam with three-dimensional (3D) networks was formed following removal of the undesirable toxic iodide induced in HI reduced GO film through NIR light irradiation via a near infrared (NIR) light irradiation method at ambient laboratory conditions.The graphene foam has an ultimate tensile strength of about 15.3 Mpa and could be compressed at a very large strain (ε=60%) for 200 cycles without significant plastic deformation or degradation in compressive strength.This 3D graphene network is hydrophobic and showed high absorbing abilities for organic liquids.
