MUMBAI, India, Aug. 8 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411004613 A) filed by Amity University, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on Jan. 23, 2024, for 'metal-organic framework (mof) based nanocomposite and cotton fibril framework for sustainable photothermal desalination.'
Inventor(s) include Geetika Jain; and Sandip Chakrabarti.
The application for the patent was published on Aug. 8, under issue no. 32/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a metal-organic framework (MOF) based nanocomposite, synthesized through hydrothermal methods and high-temperature calcination, the technology demonstrates efficient seawater desalination. Inspired by mangrove trees, a solar absorber is adorned over cotton fibrils, allowing capillary action to simultaneously supply water and reject salt. This design minimizes heat loss, achieving high evaporation flux and light-to-heat conversion efficiency. The MOF-based nanocomposite presents scalable manufacturing, increased photothermal efficiency, and salt rejection benefits, offering a sustainable solution for freshwater shortages in a green economy."
