Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are incorporated with the nanocrystals of a porphyrinic metal–organic framework, MOF-525 , by solvothermally growing MOF-525 in a suspension of well-dispersed GNRs. A nanocomposite, which is composed of the MOF-525 nanocrystals interconnected by numerous one-dimensional G...
