Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a promising class of materials with several unique properties, such as high porosity, diverse composition, tunable pore structures, and versatile functionality. These characteristics enable MOFs to show potential in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. To satisfy the practical applications of MOFs, controllable integration of MOFs and functional materials (e.g., metal nanoparticles, quantum dots, polyoxometalates, molecular species, enzymes, silica, and polymers) can enhance the characteristics of MOFs through activity improvement and framework stabilization. In MOF composites/hybrids, functional materials can cooperatively work with MOFs to show enhanced catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability in a variety of chemical transformations. This review provides an overview of the significant advances in the development of diverse MOF composites/hybrids with special emphases on the preparation and catalytic applications.
