Metal–organic frameworks for chemical conversion of carbon dioxide

Abstract

Role of MOFs in CO_2 chemical conversion; Photocatalytic and electrocatalytic CO_2 reduction; Role of linkers and metals in CO_2 chemical conversion; and MOF composites and films in CO_2 conversion. In this review, we analyze the emerging field of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as catalysts for chemical conversion of CO_2, with examples ranging from heterogeneous CO_2 organic transformation to heterogeneous CO_2 hydrogenation, from photocatalytic to electrocatalytic CO_2 reduction. We also discuss the role of MOF composites and films in CO_2 transformation. Our goal is to have an instrument useful to identify the best MOFs for CO_2 conversion.
