MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611001800 A) filed by UPES, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, on Jan. 7, for 'method for synthesizing ni-mof nanostructures using benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (btc) as an organic linker.'
Inventor(s) include Mrinalini Sharma; Shalendra Kumar; Manas Nasit; Ranjeet Kumar Brajpuriya; and Aditya Sharma.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a method (100) for synthesizing Ni-MOF nanostructures using benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (BTC) as an organic linker through hydrothermal synthesis, comprising steps of: dissolving 1.163 g of nickel nitrate hexahydrate in deionized water to ensure uniform dispersion of metal ions; dissolving 0.14 g of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (BTC) in a solvent mixture comprising ethanol and 80 mL of N-dimethylformamide (DMF) to enhance solubility and facilitate coordination with nickel ions; gradually adding the BTC solution to the nickel nitrate hexahydrate solution under stirring for 20 minutes to ensure uniform metal-ligand interaction; transferring the resulting mixture into a Teflon-lined stainless-steel autoclave; subjecting the mixture to hydrothermal treatment at approximately 120 C for 24 hours; cooling the autoclave; collecting the product; washing the product with ethanol and deionized water to remove any by-products; and drying the product under vacuum to obtain a Ni-MOF nanocomposite."
