Why 3D Graphene Is a Porous Graphene Architecture, Not a New Carbon Allotrope

3D Graphene should be specified as an interconnected porous graphene or reduced-graphene-oxide architecture, not as a new carbon allotrope; its value comes from accessible surface area, open diffusion paths, electron continuity, light weight, and compressibility, while thermal-interface use remains density- and junction-limited.
