Porous electrocatalysts modified electrodes in organic electrocatalysis

Porous materials are emerging recyclable electrocatalysts that exhibit many advantages such as rich pore environments, tunable structures and functionalities, and large specific surface areas. However, the research of these materials in organic electrocatalysis is promising but only emerged recently. In this review, we summarized the latest research progress of porous carbon materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and covalent-organic frameworks (COFs) in organic electrocatalysis, focusing on their structural optimization, electrochemical performance, and reaction mechanisms. In addition, the main challenges and future directions in this field were also discussed. We hope that this review can inspire more research interest of synthetic organic chemists in the development of porous electrocatalysts in organic electrocatalysis.
