Continuous advancements in understanding and controlling surface functionalisation properties empower materials scientists to design with tailored characteristics, improved performance, enhanced functionality, thereby expanding scientific knowledge technological progress. This research paper presents the synthesis of two new metal-organic material-based films using cathodic electrodeposition method. In contrast anodic deposition method, method offers advantage non-metal electrode substrates various metal ions, a unique aspect not yet fully explored. The study investigates effects linker length 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid (DOBDC) 3,3'-dihydroxybiphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic (BPP) as organic linkers iron(III) node for structures. films' electrochemical behaviour, characterisation through techniques like infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron X-Ray powder diffraction grazing-Incidence small-angle scattering particle-induced emission, well results from cyclic voltammetry studies, are discussed. were found be nearly amorphous specific grain sizes, revealing heterogeneity composition thickness. comprehensive offer insights into potential electrosynthesis designing functional encourage further exploration conditions ions.
