Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), as an important kind of porous inorganic‐organic hybrid materials with inherent outstanding physicochemistry characteristics, can be widely applied as versatile precursors for the facile preparation of functional MOF‐derived materials. However, there are plenty of sophisticated factors during the synthetic process, which is far from reaching the goal of effectively controlling the nature of MOF‐derived materials (such as the composition, morphology and surface area). Therefore, it is urgently necessary to develop regular protocols and concepts for controllable syntheses of MOF‐derived materials. In this minireview, we mainly summarize and analyze complicated factors in the fabrication of MOF‐derived materials according to recently reported literatures, and this provides a new insight into the rational design and syntheses of MOF‐derived materials. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) serve as appropriate sacrificial precursors for fabricating MOF‐derived materials with high‐performance applications. However, it is very difficult to control the characteristics of MOF‐derived materials. Here, the complicated factors about the controllable syntheses are carefully summarized and discussed in this minireview, which will be beneficial to guide the synthetic concepts of MOF‐derived materials.
