Abstract: As inorganic-organic hybrid materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit the combined advantages of inorganic semiconductor-type photocatalysts and organic/organometallic molecular photocatalysts in the field of solar energy conversion. The excited states, charge separations, and charge mobilities of MOFs remarkably influence the results of MOF-based photocatalytic systems, which reflect varying degrees of characteristics of inorganic semiconductors and organic/organometallic dyes. In this review, we aim to examine how the aforementioned photoelectronic performances affect each step of the photocatalytic processes based on the recent advances of energy catalysis and organic transformations by using MOFs, and attempt to find new clues for modulating the photoelectronic properties of MOF-based catalytic systems to achieve premium photocatalytic efficiencies and selectivities.
