Metal-organic frameworks for chemical conversion of carbon dioxide

Role of MOFs in CO2 chemical conversion; Photocatalytic and electrocatalytic CO2 reduction; Role of linkers and metals in CO2 chemical conversion; and MOF composites and films in CO2 conversion.In this review, we analyze the emerging field of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as catalysts for chemical conversion of CO2, with examples ranging from heterogeneous CO2 organic transformation to heterogeneous CO2 hydrogenation, from photocatalytic to electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. We also discuss the role of MOF composites and films in CO2 transformation. Our goal is to have an instrument useful to identify the best MOFs for CO2 conversion.
