Abstract Engineering cost‐effective catalysts with exceptional performance for the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remains crucial accelerated development of renewable energy techniques, and especially so, given pivotal role OER in water electrolysis. On basis metal nodes (clusters) organic linkers, metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) their derivatives are rapidly gaining ground fabrication electrocatalysts, promising catalytic activity sound durability OER, thanks to controllable pore structures, abundant unsaturated active sites ion, extensive specific surface area, as well easily functionalized/modified surfaces. This review presents an in‐depth understanding established progress MOFs‐derived materials electrocatalysis. The material designing strategies pristine, monometallic, multimetallic MOFs‐based summarized indicate infinite possibilities morphology composition MOF‐derived materials. While emphasis is laid on essential features electrocatalysis corresponding reactions, insights about applications discussed. Finally, this paper concluded by presenting challenges perspectives materials’ future
