Summary:The construction of metal-organic framework (MOF) based heterostructures are a promising strategy to improve the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activities of MOFs. For the intrinsic porosity, inorganic-organic hybrid nature and structural tunability of MOFs, a wide variety of MOF-based heterostructured photocatalysts with improved hydrogen evolution activities have been fabricated. In this frontier article, we present the latest advances in MOF-based heterostructures for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The opportunities and challenges related to MOF-based heterostructured photocatalysts are also presented. The schematic shows the types of MOF based heterojunction materials for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, including metal nanoparticle/MOF, inorganic semiconductor/MOF, MOF/g-C 3 N 4 and MOF/COF heterostructures.
