Three-dimensional flower-like nanomaterials have wide application due to the large specific surface area. In this letter, the morphology of octadecylamine (ODA) from several common solvents is studied and it is found that from the chloroform and acetone solution, ODA assembles into petal-like structure, which further forms the spherical or flower-like architecture. Furthermore, the composite materials incorporated reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and ODA could well keep the flower-shaped structure of ODA. XRD results show that the introduction of graphene has little influence on the structure of ODA and contact angle test indicates good hydrophobic performance of the rGO/ODA material.
