Abstract

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are nanoporous materials made up of individual metal ions that are coordinated by linkers, which are heteroatoms of organic molecules. MOFs' exceptionally high porosity and adjustable chemical makeup make them valuable in a variety of applications [1]. Although MOFs are often utilized in powder form in research, their utilization in thin films can lead to new and significant technological applications. Thus, MOF thin films are necessary to realize the full potential of MOFs in various applications, including gas separation, membranes, corrosion, and sensors. Thin films of MOF have been produced using a variety of techniques, including solvothermal, self-assembled monolayers, liquid phase epitaxy, evaporation inducers, and gel layer synthesis. These techniques' characteristics include high temperatures and vacuums or pressures for synthesis, failures in uniform morphology and selective manufacturing, and lengthy times for multi-step synthesis [2]. In contrast to these approaches, electrochemical techniques can offer moderate conditions, a one-step procedure, a quicker synthesis time, and a selective and controlled way for MOF synthesis. In the cathodic one, probase agent, ligands, and metal salt are present in the electrolyte solution. The MOFs networks are constructed by concurrently depositing the positive ions and deprotonated ligands on the cathode substrate after OH-anions are released by providing a steady voltage or current [3].
