Nanogenerator (NG) is a potential technology that allows to build self‐powered systems, sensors, flexible and portable electronics in the current Internet of Things (IoT) generation. Nanogenerators include piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) and triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), convert different forms of mechanical motion into useful electrical signals. They have evolved and expanded their applications in various fields since their discovery in 2006 and 2012. Material selection is crucial for designing efficient NGs, with high conversion efficiencies. In the recent past, crystalline porous mat erials (metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs)) have been widely reported as potential candidates for nanogenerators, owing to their special properties of large surface area, porosity tailoring, ease of surface, post‐synthesis modification, and chemical stability. The present organized review provides a complete overview of all the crystalline porous materials (CPMs)‐based nanogenerator devices reported in the literature, including synthesis, characterization, device fabrication, and potential applications. Additionally, this review article discusses current challenges, future directions, and perspectives in the field of CPMs‐NGs.
