Abstract
A method of preparing a Metal Organic Framework (MOF), the method comprising (i) depositing a liquid comprising MOF precursors on a surface of a piezoelectric substrate, the MOF precursors comprising a metal ion and an organic ligand, and (ii) applying an electrical input to the piezoelectric substrate to induce propagation of acoustic waves across the piezoelectric substrate, which in turn causes the liquid to form an acoustowetting film on the piezoelectric substrate, within which the MOF precipitates.

A method of preparing a Metal Organic Framework (MOF), the method comprising:
- depositing a liquid comprising MOF precursors on a surface of a piezoelectric substrate, the MOF precursors comprising a metal ion and an organic ligand, and
- applying an electrical input to the piezoelectric substrate to induce propagation of travelling acoustic waves across the piezoelectric substrate, which in turn causes the liquid to form an acoustowetting film in a linear direction on the piezoelectric substrate, within which the MOF precipitates.
