Users are advised not to wear the mask during the disinfection process, which takes roughly 30 minutes, Yair Ein-Eli told Reuters news agency.
Ein-Eli led the research at Israel's Technion University, spurred by widening disparities between global supply and demand for masks.
The researchers have filed a patent for the mask in the US, and plan to sell it commercially.
