Research progress on metal-organic framework compounds (MOFs) in electrocatalysis.

ABSTRACT

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have favorable characteristics such as large specific surface area, high porosity, structural diversity, and pore surface modification, giving them great potential for development and attractive prospects in the research area of modern materials electrocatalysis. However, unsatisfactory catalytic activity and poor electronic conductivity are the main challenges facing MOFs. This review focuses on MOF-based materials used in electrocatalysis, based on the types of catalytic reactions that have used MOF-based materials in recent years along with their applications, and also looks at some new electrocatalytic materials and their future development prospects.
