Abstract

Graphene-organic frameworks (GOFs) is a new class of graphene-based materials in which structure and properties can be designed by controlling the length and concentration of organic ligands, comparable to their tunable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) counterpart. The structural properties (e.g., surface area, pore volume) and physico-chemical properties (e.g., electronic, thermal, and mechanical) of GOFs can be tuned based on the synthetic conditions. Such GOFs are promising as the next generation of novel materials for a wide range of potential applications such as H2 storage, electronic devices, sensors, drug carriers, etc. Here we report a review summarizing synthetic strategies, properties, and applications of GOFs.

Keywords: carbon materials; graphene; graphene-organic frameworks; nanoarchitectures; nanocomposites.
