“…[ 9 , 10 ] Later, MOFs were widely investigated for other applications such as sensing, energy storage and conversion, drug delivery, optoelectronics, batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells and catalysis. [ 5 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ] Since the past few years, MOFs have further been used in solar energy‐driven applications especially as photocatalysts for H 2 evolution (by water splitting), dye degradation and CO 2 reduction. [ 16 , 18 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ] The moderate strength of coordination bonds between the metal nodes and organic ligands, the wide energy bandgaps and the poor semiconducting properties (with limited electric charge generation and charge transfer) of pristine MOFs make them less favorable to be directly employed in photocatalytic applications.…”
