The MOFs (metal organic frameworks) namely MIL-101 (Cr), MIL-125 (Ti) and UiO-66 (Zr) are found suitable for desalination and cooling applications. To improve both cooling and desalination performances, these MOFs were embedded with amino (–NH2) functional groups. For further improvement of water ad...
