Abstract
A compilation of recent advancements in the field of MOF derived catalytic systems, together with innovative synthesis and modification techniques, are presented in this comprehensive review with a focus on societal and environmental demands-driven developments of more efficient functional materials and processes. The incorporation of alternative materials such as enzymes, polymers, and metal complexes into MOFs is probed as it enables tuning and upgrading key properties such as stability, activity and selectivity. Most significantly, the tremendous potential contribution of MOF-based catalysts in converting the industrial sector into a contemporary energy production system is demonstrated by discussing several key applications in sustainable development, including valorization of CO 2 , biofuel manufacture, and hydrogen generation.
