Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently become prospective materials for electrocatalysis. MOFs constructed via coordination chemistry of inorganic metal nodes and organic ligands, possess the exclusive features over traditional inorganic or organic materials, which include ultrahigh porosity, large surface areas, structural tunability and high stability. Based on these features, MOFs are already being applied in storage and separation, catalysis, optoelectronics, drug delivery and biomedical imaging. Particularly, with the advantageous feature, MOFs have potential to work as efficient electrocatalysts for a variety of redox reactions, such as hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), etc. In this chapter, a discussion has been presented on MOFs, their composites, MOF-derived carbon materials and their performance as electrocatalysts. This chapter will inspire new research direction regarding the development of advanced electrocatalytic materials using MOFs.
