The highly porous MOF, designated as PCN-224-Ni, is constructed by Zr–oxo nodes and nickel(II) porphyrin linkers. Films of PCN-224-Ni were grown in situ on FTO and were found to electrochemically facilitate the water oxidation reaction at near neutral pH.16818-16823application/pdfen-USCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 UnportedArticle - RefereedUsov, Pavel M.Ahrenholtz, Spencer R.Maza, William A.Stratakes, BethanyEpley, Charity C.Kessinger, Matthew C.Zhu, JieMorris, Amanda J.https://doi.org/10.1039/c6ta05877a4432050-7496
