“…Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are comparatively new and emerging crystalline porous materials with an attractive structure, where the metal-ion clusters are firmly coordinated with organic spacers. , MOFs have been employed as templates for constructing porous materials because of its high porosity, versatile design, and large surface area. − The carbon-based materials, significantly enriched with the heteroatoms, are frequently used as supporting materials for other heterogeneous catalysts owing to their stability and recyclability. − Although such a mesoporous carbon framework limits diffusion and mass transport, the rationally designed metal-ion, organic clusters deliver multifunctional active sites and improved electrical conductivity. , Some of the exciting reports have already demonstrated the influences of heteroatom and metal/metal oxide nanoparticle doping on carbon hybrids in water splitting. − The pristine MOF and its derivatives are widely studied in different applications, including gas adsorption, separation, hydrogen storage, and heterogeneous catalysis. − In addition, heteroatom-doped porous carbon derived from MOFs and their composites, for instance, MOF/graphene, Pt nanoparticles @ MOF, and metal/metal oxide composites, has also been studied in the field of energy storage and conversions. − Of late, MOF-derived carbon materials make a significant contribution, especially in the area of electrocatalysis, because of their high conductivity, stability, and the copious amount of active carbon sites nearby the heteroatom.…”
