“…The stability of molecular electrocatalysts can be extended by sterically bulky ligand templates, yet along with the sacrifice of catalytic activity . Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), composed of metal-ion/cluster nodes and organic linkers, represent a promising class of functional crystalline porous materials applied to various areas such as gas separation, sensing, catalysis, and drug delivery − due to their high specific surface area, tunable pores, rich topology, etc. − MOF is an ideal platform for a tailor-made heterogeneous catalyst as metal-centered active sites are well dispersed over the whole framework. Benefiting from the high surface area and porosity, additional active sites can be installed inside the framework through post-synthetic modification, PSM, to further enhance the catalytic activity of the MOFs.…”
