4 Figure S3. Structural model of BCCFs for calculation of percolation thresholds In this structural model, the pores inner the BCCFs are deemed as hollow cubic boxes which are surrounded by the graphene sheets. The lateral size of the graphene boxes are denoted as w, which corresponds to the lateral size of graphene sheets in BCCFs. We assume that the percolation network is formed when the graphene sheets can construct such structural model. Therefore, the percolation threshold of graphene in this model is vol % 300 vol % Where Φ c is the percolation threshold, l is the thickness of graphene (0.334 nm), w is the lateral size of graphene sheets ( nm). Therefore, the theoretical percolation threshold of gbccfs is vol%. S-4
