Emergence of the Janus-MOF (J-MOF) Boat as a Nascent Amalgamation in the Arena of Photothermal Desalination.

The diminution of potable water is a pressing issue in several countries and is the most prioritized obligation of environmental scientists. Thence, the ardent emergence of photothermal interfacial evaporation (PTIE) is seen as a neoteric horizon in the avenue of water remediation. Consequently, for the first time, the decoration of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) over a Janus architecture as an avant-garde marriage was explored in the domain of photothermal desalination. In this study, a solar absorber was developed by inducing phase change to Ni-doped HKUST-1 (Cu-MOF) via high-temperature calcination to create biphasic CuO/Cu
