Transformation　of　CO2　into　valued-added　products　is　an　indispensable　part　of　accomplishing　carbon　neutrality.　Metal-organic　frameworks　(MOFs)　are　believed　to　be　promising　catalysts　for　the　utilization　of　CO2,　attributing　to　their　well-defined　porous　structure,　abundant　active　sites　and　vastly　high　tunability.　The　latest　researches　of　MOF-based　functional　materials　as　photo-　and　electro-catalysts　for　the　reduction　of　CO2　were　summarized　in　this　paper.　Novel　catalysts　were　divided　into　three　categories,　active　MOF,　MOF　composites　and　MOF　derivatives　to　facilitate　the　discussion　of　enhanced　activity.　The　reason　of　improvement　was　ascribed　to　their　well-designed　physicochemical　properties,　especially　the　property　of　metal　sites,　coordination　situation　and　morphology　of　materials.　The　future　progress　of　research　of　MOF-based　CO2　reduction　catalysts　was　hence　proposed.　©　2022,　Editorial　Department　of　Journal　of　Beijing　University　of　Technology.　All　right　reserved.
