In summary, this perspective mainly focuses on the plasmonic effects and enhancement on catalytic performances of MOFs and their derivatives. In recent years, many research groups have reported plasmonic enhancements on catalysis in several photochemical or photoelectrochemical processes, such as water full splitting, CO2 conversion, and organic degradation and so on. However, the underlying enhancement mechanisms on plasmonic enhanced catalysis were still disputable within the field. In this perspective, we summarized several proposed mechanisms in the existing literature, such as light absorption and scattering, charge carries transfer mechanism and local electric field enhancement. Actually, the LSPR enhanced photocatalysis or photoelectrocatalysis is a complexed and multidimensional process, which needs rational hetero-structured nanocatalyst design as well as full consideration of many material parameters such as interfacial morphology, doping, bandgap and nanoengineering and so on.
