MOFs‐Based Heterogeneous Catalysts: New Opportunities for Energy‐Related CO₂ Conversion

Abstract

Abstract Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with high surface area and tunable chemical structures have attracted tremendous attention. Recently, the utilization of solar energy for CO 2 conversion to produce valuable chemicals or fuels has become extremely appealing. The interior of MOFs can be designed to have defects, heteroatoms and embedded nanoscale metal catalysts for the development of CO 2 conversion. In this review, the recent development of MOFs‐based catalysts for CO 2 conversion reactions, including photocatalysis and electrocatalysis are summarized. In particular, the preparation and mechanism of CO 2 conversion‐based MOFs are discussed. The examples are expected to provide deeper understanding in preparing highly active and stable MOFs‐based CO 2 conversion materials.
