Controlled growth of dense and ordered metal–organic framework nanoparticles on graphene oxide†
Abstract
A simple and versatile synthetic route is develped to modulate the growth and distribution of MOF–graphene oxide (GO) nanohybrid materials, achieving dense and ordered MOFs featuring different sizes and morphologies on GO. After pyrolysis, the resulting metal-containing/rGO nanomaterials demonstrate a superior catalytic activity in organic transformations.
