Excess CO can be effectively converted into valuable fuels and chemicals by electrochemical CO reduction, which can help establish a low-carbon emission economy and solve the current energy crisis. In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as an emerging multifunctional material with porous structure, high chemical tunability and large specific surface area, has received increasing attention in the field of electrochemical CO RR. In this paper, we present a comprehensive overview of various MOFs and their derivatives as CO RR electrocatalysts and analyze their roles in the catalytic process from physical and chemical aspects. In addition, combining experiments and theory, this article also offers a personal view on the electronic structure modulation strategies to improve electrocatalytic performance. The article concludes with an analysis of the challenges in realizing MOFs and their derivatives for electrocatalytic CO RR applications.
过量的 CO 可以通过电化学 CO 还原有效地转化为有价值的燃料和化学品，这有助于建立低碳排放经济并解决当前的能源危机。近年来，金属-有机骨架（MOFs）作为一种具有多孔结构、高化学可调性和大比表面积的新兴多功能材料，在电化学 CO RR 领域受到了越来越多的关注。本文全面概述了各种 MOFs 及其衍生物作为 CO RR 电催化剂的应用，并从物理和化学两方面分析了它们在催化过程中的作用。此外，本文还结合实验和理论，提出了一种通过电子结构调制策略来提高电催化性能的个人观点。文章最后分析了实现 MOFs 及其衍生物在电催化 CO RR 应用中的挑战。
