Due to their exceptional chemical stability in water and high structural tunability, zirconium(IV)-based MOFs (Zr-MOFs) have been considered attractive materials in the broad fields of electrocatalysis. Numerous studies published since 2015 have attempted to utilise Zr-MOFs in electrocatalysis, with the porous framework serving as either the active electrocatalyst or the scaffold or surface coating to further enhance the performance of the actual electrocatalyst. Herein, the roles of Zr-MOFs in electrocatalytic processes are discussed, and some selected examples reporting the applications of Zr-MOFs in various electrocatalytic reactions, including several studies from our group, are overviewed. Challenges, limitations and opportunities in using Zr-MOFs in electrocatalysis in future studies are discussed.
由于锆（IV）基金属有机框架材料（Zr-MOFs）在水中具有出色的化学稳定性和高度的结构可调性，它们在广泛的电催化领域被视为有吸引力的材料。自2015年以来发表的众多研究试图在电催化中利用Zr-MOFs，其多孔框架可作为活性电催化剂，或作为支架或表面涂层以进一步提高实际电催化剂的性能。本文讨论了Zr-MOFs在电催化过程中的作用，并概述了一些报道Zr-MOFs在各种电催化反应中的应用的精选实例，包括我们团队的几项研究。还讨论了在未来研究中使用Zr-MOFs进行电催化时面临的挑战、限制和机遇。
