Considerable attention has been paid to the utilization of CO 2 , an abundant carbon source in nature. In this regard, porous catalysts have been eagerly explored with excellent performance for photo‐/electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 to high valued products. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), featuring large surface area, high porosity, tunable composition and unique structural characteristics, have been widely exploited in catalytic CO 2 reduction. This Minireview first reports the current progress of MOFs in CO 2 reduction. Then, a specific interest is focused on MOFs in photo‐/electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 by modifying their metal centers, organic linkers, and pores. Finally, the future directions of study are also highlighted to satisfy the requirement of practical applications.
