The electrochemical analysis of molecular catalysts for the conversion of bulk feedstocks into energy-rich clean fuels has seen dramatic advances in the last decade. More recently, increased attention has focused on the characterization of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) containing well-defined redox and catalytically active sites, with the overall goal to develop structurally stable materials that are industrially relevant for large-scale solar fuel syntheses. Successful electrochemical analysis of such materials draws heavily on well-established homogeneous techniques, yet the nature of solid materials presents additional challenges. In this tutorial-style review, we cover the basics of electrochemical analysis of electroactive MOFs, including considerations of bulk stability, methods of attaching MOFs to electrodes, interpreting fundamental electrochemical data, and finally electrocatalytic kinetic characterization. We conclude with a perspective of some of the prospects and challenges in the field of electrocatalytic MOFs.

在过去的十年中，用于将大量原料转化为能量丰富的清洁燃料的分子催化剂的电化学分析取得了巨大的进步。最近，越来越多的注意力集中在含有明确的氧化还原和催化活性位点的金属有机骨架（MOF）的表征上，其总体目标是开发与大规模太阳能燃料合成工业相关的结构稳定的材料。对此类材料进行成功的电化学分析在很大程度上依赖于成熟的均质技术，但是固体材料的性质带来了其他挑战。在本教程风格的复习中，我们介绍了电活性MOF的电化学分析基础，包括对体积稳定性的考虑，将MOF连接到电极上的方法，解释基本的电化学数据，最后进行电催化动力学表征。我们以电催化MOF领域的一些前景和挑战为视角进行了总结。
