A facile molten-salt (MS) route for the scalable synthesis of free-standing, long-range oriented and corrugated graphene-like sheets from a copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) precursor is reported. Their unique arrangement and transformation behavior in molten potassium chloride (KCl) play a key role in promoting the successful synthesis of the anisotropic nanostructure.
