Abstract

The eradication of global warming due to the accumulation of CO2 is been challenging to scientists as well as policymakers. In this concern, CO2 fixation and reduction into valuable products are highly imperative. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging high-surface area nanomaterials that are very advantageous to capture and convert CO2 into desired products. MOFs have a great benefit in that the surface activity can be tuned by altering the metal and the organic linkers. The flexibility in surface chemistry and desired surface areas with targeted catalytic sites could efficiently complete the specified task. Hence, here in this chapter, we discussed various types of MOFs that are used for CO2 fixation and electrocatalytic reduction into useful products. Recent advancements and the future perspectives of novel MOFs for CO2 fixation and electrocatalytic reduction are also conferred.
