Directed Growth of Electroactive Metal‐Organic Framework Thin Films Using Electrophoretic Deposition

Abstract
Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is used to assemble metal–organic framework (MOF) materials in nano- and micro-particulate, thin-film form. The flexibility of the method is demonstrated by the successful deposition of 4 types of MOFs: NU-1000, UiO-66, HKUST-1, and Al-MIL-53. Additionally, EPD is used to pattern the growth of NU-1000 thin films that exhibit full electrochemical activity.
