A super-lightweight, bidirectionally ordered, three-dimensional porous hybrid graphene aerogel (HGA) was prepared and evaluated. The preparing parameters involved obtaining a uniform suspension through mechanical stirring for 3 h, followed by ultrasonic dispersion for 30 min, maintaining pH at 9. The suspension then underwent liquid nitrogen pre-freezing, vacuum freeze-drying for 48 h and hydrazine hydrate vapor reduction at 90 ℃ for 24 h. Furthermore, the microstructure, the adsorption and reusability properties of HGA were evaluated. The results demonstrated that HGA could adsorb organic solvents up to 159 times its own weight and effectively separate oil from water. The HGA exhibited excellent mechanical properties, releasing 98% of its shape with a 30% compression ratio under a stress 2653 times its own weight. Additionally, after 10 adsorption-combustion cycles, the adsorption capacity decreased by only 3.67%, and the mass retention rate exceeded 90%, indicating good reusability and flame-retardant properties.
