Metal–Organic Frameworks for Photo/Electrocatalysis

Abstract

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), constructed from metal clusters/ions and organic ligands, are ideal materials for photo/electrocatalysis, mainly due to the advantages of large surface areas, high porosity, and easily tunable optical and electronic structures. Herein, the recent and important advances on MOF‐based photo/electrocatalysts including pristine MOFs, MOF composites, and MOF derivatives are summarized. The novel strategies to improve the photo/electrocatalytic performances are highlighted. Finally, the current challenges and future development of MOFs for photo/electrocatalysis are discussed ad outlined.
