This doctoral dissertation delves into the development of next-generation, advanced functional materials, drawing inspiration from the hierarchical architectures found in nature. Central to this exploration is the strategic manipulation of 2D-graphene (2D-G) and 1D-cellulose (1D-Cs) derivatives, which are assembled to generate bio-inspired and highly ordered 3D-structures. These structures are distinguished by their unique anisotropic features, aspects that have previously been ignored, neglected, or insufficiently explored within the domain of interfacial nanoarchitectonics. The novelty of this research stems from leveraging the anisotropic properties of graphene-cellulose heterointerfaces in 2D/1D configurations, yielding sophisticated 3D-architectures characterized by their superior specificity and functionality. Utilizing both top-down synthesis and bottom-up assembly techniques, the research achieves precise control over the structural and functional properties of these advanced materials. A significant focus of the dissertation is on overcoming the challenges of fabricating pristine, monodispersed 2D-G nanosheets and 1D-Cs nanochains, challenges that stem from their complex intermolecular and intramolecular interfacial interactions, and the equilibrium between hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity. The research precisely considers the dangling π-bonds and the reactive nature of the 2D/1D-GC monolayers at the central, basal planes, and edges. It also addresses the tendency of bi-, tri-, and multilayered structures to undergo π?π stacking interactions. Through a combination of in-situ and ex-situ protocols, the research endeavors to retain their pristine structures and achieve uniform dispersion. Additionally, the dissertation highlights the pivotal role of van der Waals (vdW) forces in the assembly of these nanostructures and in defining the mechanisms of load transfer (LT) and heat transfer (HT) across 2D/1D-GC heterointerfaces. It offers new insights into the deformation behavior under diverse conditions and the interplay between vdW forces and atomic-level driving forces. Furthermore, the study probes the in-plane and out-of-plane thermal conductivities within these multi-scale 3D-architectures, identifying areas that require further exploration. The dissertation also explores dual-templating strategies, including template-free, template-assisted, and template-directed approaches, for the fabrication and simulation of complex 3D-shaped, 3D-continuously, and 3D-bicontinuously graphene-cellulose (3D2GC) architectures. A wide range of quantitative and qualitative analytical techniques, including OM, SEM, TEM, AFM, μ-CT, Raman, Zeta, UV-visible, FTIR, TGA, DTA, BET, BJH, PPMS, TMA, TPS, and computational software, is employed to comprehensively characterize, visualize, analyze, and simulate these 2D/1D-GC heterointerfaces and resultant 3D-architectures. In conclusion, this doctoral dissertation significantly advances the field of interfacial nanoarchitectonics, offering a forward-looking roadmap for future research aimed at optimizing the efficiency and unlocking the full potential of these multi-scale 2D/1D-GC heterointerfaces structures. The dissertation not only demonstrates a profound understanding of the fundamental principles of vdW forces and anisotropic characteristics, but also presents feasible approaches for transforming 2D-G and 1D-Cs derivatives into intricate 3D2GC architectures. Eventually, we aim to inspire further research in this dynamic domain and shed light on its wide-ranging implications throughout multiple disciplines.
