In this review, we have taken into consideration of the most recent progress and presented comprehensive investigation, discussion and challenges of rational design MOF-supported or derived heterogeneous catalysts for electrocatalysis, organocatalysis, photocatalysis. [Display omitted] •MOFs can decompose to nanocomposites for heterogeneous catalysis via calcination.•The advantages of MOF-derived nanomaterials can improve catalysis activities.•MOFs can use as excellent supports for catalytic active species. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as novel developing porous crystalline materials, are promising candidates in the field of heterogeneous catalysis because of their high surface area, diverse structures, low densities, adjusted pore sizes, etc. Recently, increasing attention has focused on developing MOF-supported/derived materials as heterogeneous catalysts. In this review, we present the recent development of MOFs as supports or precursors in the preparation of various functional nanomaterials for heterogeneous catalytic reactions including electrocatalysis, organocatalysis, and photocatalysis. Here, we present a comprehensive discussion on the recent progress and the rational design of MOF-supported or derived heterogeneous catalysts to provide insights into the future development of novel and highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts.
