Inventor(s) include Rohini Rajdatta Kadam; Deepashree Dinkar Kamble; Dr. Suresh Digambar Huse; Dr. Nandkishor S. Chandan; and Dr. Shamrao T. Disale.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Iron OxideCuMOF Nanocomposites as High-Performance Energetic storage and Water Oxidation Bifunctional Materials. This invention describes the creation of iron oxide-modified copper metalorganic frameworks (CuMOF) nanocomposites that are developed as a bifunctional substance in the electrochemical storage of energy and reaction of oxygen evolution. The novel method is aimed at synthesizing CuMOF by solvothermal, and subsequent in-situ loading of iron oxide by a hydrothermal process to obtain a hetero-metallic nanocomposite with increased redox activity, electrical conductivity, and structural stability. The iron oxide CuMOF nanocomposite is characterized with synergistic Fe 2+/Fe 3+ and Cu 2+/Cu + redox interactions which enhance greatly the pseudocapacitive properties of charge storage behavior and electrocatalytic water oxidation performance. The material performs well as a supercapacitor electrode of great specific capacitance and cycles life, and is an oxygen evolution electrocatalyst with lower overpotential and better reaction kinetics in alkaline media. It offers a low-cost, multifunctional, and scalable material platform applicable to the next generation energy storage systems as well as sustainable methods of producing hydrogen that will be used in the future."
