Recent progress on electrocatalytic water splitting over metal-organic framework based-and derived-catalysts
Electrocatalytic water splitting exhibits outstanding advantages for solving the critical problems of clean energy shortage and environmental pollution.Electric driven water splitting is a promising strategy for producing clean and renewable hydrogen.Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)and their derivatives are consid-ered as ideal porous materials for electrocatalytic H2 production,resulting from their tailorable structure,ultra-large surface area,and design flexibility.This review starts with the reaction principle of electrocatalytic water splitting,relevant factors that determine the electrocatalytic activity,and then summarizes and exemplifies the recent progress in the development of MOFs based-and derived-electrocatalysts for water splitting.Finally,we highlighted the many challenges exist in the water splitting field,and proposed some perspectives of MOFs based-and derived-electrocatalysts for H2 production from water splitting.
