title: Unraveling a two-step oxidation mechanism in electrochemical Cu-MOF synthesis.
abstract: To employ the full potential of electrochemical (ec) synthesis to grow metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in more complex organizations at the mesoscale, it is vital to understand the underlying crystallization reaction pathway. For the MOF most typically grown electrochemically, CuBTC, we systematically investigated the role of oxygen species in the synthesis.
