Abstract Substrate‐supported metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) films are desired to realize their potential in practical applications. Herein, a novel substrate‐seeding secondary‐growth strategy is developed prepare composites of uniform MOFs on aerogel walls. Briefly, the organic ligand “pre‐seeded” onto walls, and then small amount metal‐ion solution sprayed prepared aerogel. The diffuses along walls form continuous thin layer, which confines nucleation reaction, promoting formation whole...
