Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with high surface area and tunable chemical structures have attracted tremendous attention. Recently, the utilization of solar energy for CO2 conversion to produce valuable chemicals or fuels has become extremely appealing. The interior of MOFs can be designed to have defects, heteroatoms and embedded nanoscale metal catalysts for the development of CO2 conversion. In this review, the recent development of MOFs‐based catalysts for CO2 conversion reactions, including photocatalysis and electrocatalysis are summarized. In particular, the preparation and mechanism of CO2 conversion‐based MOFs are discussed. The examples are expected to provide deeper understanding in preparing highly active and stable MOFs‐based CO2 conversion materials.
