Pristine metalâorganic frameworks (MOFs) and their composites, which have received wide attention in recent years, especially in the field of electrocatalysis, are emerging as distinctive electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and many other electrochemical redox reactions. In this review, the attention is focused on the development of monometallicâMOFs and multimetallicâMOFs (including bimetallicâMOFs and trimetallicâMOFs) for electrocatalysis in recent years, including their design, catalytic performance and strategies for activity improvement. Finally, major challenges in utilizing pristine MOFs and their composites for electrocatalysis are highlighted.
