Electrochemical film growth of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) enables the self-completing growth of densely packed crystallite layers in a patterned fashion. Coatings produced in this manner might prove useful in the integration of MOF materials with devices such as sensors, a concept that is illustrated by monitoring water adsorption.
