Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), also called porous coordination polymers, represent a class of crystalline porous materials built from organic linkers and metal ions/clusters. The unique features of MOFs, including structural diversity and tailorability as well as high surface area, etc., enable them to be a highly versatile platform for potential applications in many fields. Herein, an overview of recent developments achieved in MOF catalysis, including heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis, and eletrocatalysis over MOFs and MOF-based materials, is provided. The active sites involved in the catalysts are particularly emphasized. The challenges, future trends, and prospects associated with MOFs and their…
