A new method for integrating metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) on polymer fibers is developed based on an oxide nucleation layer via atomic layer deposition (ALD). As G. N. Parsons and co‐workers report in article 1400040, ALD coating enables uniform MOF coverage on fibers, high MOF loading, and large BET surface area. NH 3 breakthrough tests demonstrate high adsorption capacity of the MOF‐fiber mats for toxic gas. The synthesis approach is also generally applicable to a wide range of polymer fibers and MOFs. This work represents a breakthrough in the deployment of MOFs for technical applications.
