Article Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) have exhibited a promising application prospect in many fields because of their good fluorescence properties, biocompatibility, low toxicity, and easy functionalization. In order to improve their photoelectricity and stability, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be used as host materials to provide ideal carriers for CDs to realize the multifunctional composites of CDs and MOFs (CDs@MOFs). At present, CDs@MOFs composites have shown tremendous application potential because they have various advantages of both CDs and MOFs. In this review, the synthesis methods of CDs@MOFs composites are firstly introduced. Then, the influence of the synergy between CDs and MOFs on the regulation of their structures and optical properties is highlighted. Furthermore, the recent application researches of CDs@MOFs composites in fluorescent probes, solid-state lighting, and photoelectrocatalysis are generalized. Finally, the critical issues, challenges, and solutions on their structure and property regulation and application are put forward, and their commercialization direction is also prospected.

The construction of efficient photocatalysts for water splitting to enable H evolution is pivotal to alleviate energy issues and environmental concerns. In this work, carbon dots (CDs) were prepared by employing "green solvent" ionic liquids as carbon sources and then combined with Pt/NH-MIL-125, resulting in the emergence of a high-efficiency photocatalyst termed CDs-Pt/NH-MIL-125 for the first time. This composite photocatalyst exhibited outstanding photocatalytic activity in H production under visible light irradiation.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), MIL-125 and UiO-66, were modified on the butterfly wings (BWs) by chemical bonds, and CdS was grown in situ on them through a solvothermal approach. The BWs enable the biocomposites to possess a wider (>600 nm) and stronger light absorption. The in situ growth method can produce highly active and stable biocomposites.
