Recent progress of metal-organic framework-derived composites: Synthesis and their energy conversion applications

Recently, metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived composites have emerged as a promising class of materials for energy conversion systems due to their tunable pore size, large surface area, and high catalytic performance. In this review, the different types of synthesis approaches for MOF-derived composites are first summarized. Recent advances in the use of MOF-derived composites for various energy conversion applications, such as oxygen evolution reaction, hydrogen evolution reaction, overall water splitting, nitrogen reduction reaction, as well as oxygen reduction reaction, are summed up. Finally, some challenges and views for the future development of MOF-derived composites in the field of energy conversion systems are discussed. We hope this review will provide inspiration and guidance for the design and development of high-quality MOF-derived composites for energy conversion systems.
