Owing to their tunable electronic structures, exceptional structural stability, and superior catalytic performance, metal–organic framework (MOF)-derived metal sulfides have emerged as promising candidates for use in energy conversion systems. This review first summarizes the various synthesis methods for MOF-derived metal sulfides. Subsequently, recent progress in electrochemical water splitting, including the hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, and overall water splitting are discussed. Finally, the current challenges of MOF-derived metal sulfides for electrochemical water splitting are also highlighted. We hope that this review will serve as a valuable reference for the rational design of novel MOF-derived metal sulfides for use in electrochemical water splitting.
