Electrochemical fabrication of metal-organic frameworks membranes and films: A review

Electrochemical fabrication is an important method for the preparation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) membranes and films. The method can be further divided into five categories: anodic deposition, cathodic deposition, conversion of electrosynthesized MOFs precursors, electrophoretic deposition, and galvanic displacement. In this article, the electrochemical fabrication methods and the applications of MOFs membranes and films were reviewed, and the existing challenges and outlook in this field were analyzed.
