1. A microstructure comprising:
interconnected units including a first unit formed of first graphene tubes, and a second unit formed of second graphene tubes, wherein one or more of the second graphene tubes are connected to one or more of the first graphene tubes, the interconnected units forming a microlattice;
wherein, the microlattice is electrolessly plated with metal followed by dissolving out an organic polymer scaffold, and a resulting metal-based microlattice is coated with a layer of immersion tin, and embedded within an organic polymeric matrix.
