Electrochemical deposition has emerged as a novel approach to fabricate metal–organic framework (MOF) films. Here, for the first time, an aqueously cathodic deposition (ACD) approach is developed to fabricate ZIF‐8 type of MOF membranes without addition of any supporting electrolyte or modulator. Th...
