Carbon Nanohybrids: Graphene and Carbon‐Nanotube Nanohybrids Covalently Functionalized by Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines for Optoelectronic Properties (Adv. Mater. 17/2018)

In article number 1705704, Chi Zhang and co-workers highlight the recent advances in synthetic methods, intraconjugate electronic interaction mechanisms, and important applications in nonlinear optics of covalently functionalized graphene or carbon nanotube nanohybrids by porphyrins or phthalocyanines. Such conjugated nanohybrids can afford enhanced nonlinear optical performance and better solubility, rather than a simple combination of their individual (often excellent) properties.
