State of the art and prospectives of heterogeneous photocatalysts based on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs): design, modification strategies, and their applications and mechanisms in photodegradation, water splitting, and CO₂reduction

Abstract

We review the design of MOFs as heterogeneous photocatalysts, analysing research on their use in water pollutant degradation, water splitting and CO 2 reduction. Advantages and disadvantages of MOFs-based photocatalysts, catalytic mechanisms and future research are evaluated.
