Stein says
graphene oxide nanoscrolls could also be used as ultralight chemical sensors, drug delivery vehicles, and hydrogen storage platforms, in addition to water filters.

The
nanoscrolls can be visualized as traditional «Swiss rolls» where the sponge - cake represents the
graphene, and the creamy filling is the iron
oxide nanoparticles.
Moreover, they showed that by removing the iron
oxide nanoparticles by acid treatment the
nanoscrolls again open up and go back to single
graphene sheets
«And you can tune the separation of a
nanoscroll's layers, and do all sorts of neat things with
graphene oxide that you can't really do with nanotubes and
graphene itself,» Stein adds.
Past attempts at making
nanoscrolls started with
graphene oxide in its un-reduced or partially reduced states.
