Increasing　demand　for　sustainable　and　clean　energy　is　calling　for　the　next-generation　energy　conversion　and　storage　technologies　such　as　fuel　cells,　water　electrolyzers,　CO2　/N2　reduction　electrolyzers,　metal-air　batteries,　etc.　All　these　electrochemical　processes　involve　oxygen　electrocatalysis.　Boosting　the　intrinsic　activity　and　the　active-site　density　through　rational　design　of　metal-organic　frameworks　(MOFs)　and　metal-organic　gels　(MOGs)　as　precursors　represents　a　new　approach　toward　improving　oxygen　electrocatalysis　efficiency.　MOFs/MOGs　afford　a　broad　selection　of　combinations　between　metal　nodes　and　organic　linkers　and　are　known　to　produce　electrocatalysts　with　high　surface　areas,　variable　porosity,　and　excellent　activity　after　pyrolysis.　Some　recent　studies　on　MOFs/MOGs　for　oxygen　electrocatalysis　and　their　new　perspectives　in　synthesis,　characterization,　and　performance　are　discussed.　New　insights　on　the　structural　and　compositional　design　in　MOF/MOG-derived　oxygen　electrocatalysts　are　summarized.　Critical　challenges　and　future　research　directions　are　also　outlined.
