We　synthesized　a　HKUST-1　metal-organic　framework　(MOF)　on　indium　tin　oxide　(ITO)　using　an　electrodeposited　Cu　film.　The　electrodeposited　Cu/ITO　was　used　as　a　source　of　Cu　ions,　which　were　linked　with　benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic　acid　on　the　ITO　surface　to　form　HKUST-1.　Synthesized　HKUST-1/ITO　was　characterized　by　X-ray　diffraction　(XRD),　Raman　spectroscopy　and　scanning　electron　microscopy　(SEM),　which　showed　that　the　morphology　of　the　HKUST-1　framework　was　nearly　octahedral.　Our　results　also　revealed　that　the　growth　of　HKUST-1　depended　on　the　potential　and　synthesis　time　used.　This　method　can　be　applied　to　fabricate　ordered　patterns　of　HKUST-1　on　ITO　substrates,　offering　a　new　way　to　grow　MOFs　on　many　other　kinds　of　conductive　substrates.　©　The　Royal　Society　of　Chemistry.
