With　the　vigorous　development　of　industrial　economy,　energy　and　environmental　problems　have　become　the　most　serious　issues　affecting　people＇s　production　and　life.　Therefore,　the　demand　for　clean　energy　production,　effective　separation　and　storage　is　growing.　Metal-organic　frameworks　(MOFs),　as　a　kind　of　porous　crystalline　materials　with　large　surface　area　and　porosity,　which　is　self-assembled　by　metal　ions　or　clusters　and　organic　ligands　through　coordination　bonds.　Thanks　to　a　number　of　unique　characteristics　such　as　adjustable　pore　environment,　homogeneous　void　structure,　abundant　active　sites,　unprecedented　chemical　composition　tunability　and　functional　versatility,　it　has　been　widely　studied,　especially　for　the　clean　energy　conversion　in　catalysis.　In　this　review,　we　focus　on　the　research　progress　of　clean　energy　in　catalysis　based　on　MOFs.　Emphasis　is　placed　on　MOFs　with　different　structures　of　compositions　and　their　applications　in　catalytic　for　clean　energy　conversion,　such　as　CO　oxidation,　CO2　reduction　and　H2　evolution.　In　addition,　the　situation　of　MOFs　assisting　environmental　remediation　is　also　briefly　described.　Finally,　the　prospects　and　challenges　of　MOFs　in　clean　energy　and　the　remaining　issues　in　this　field　are　presented.　©　2022　Elsevier　Ltd
