MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641050101 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, Hyderabad, Telangana, on April 20, for 'a triboelectric nanogenerator (teng) and a method of fabrication thereof.'

Inventor(s) include Saket Asthana; Rudresh Kundugolmath; Sumit Chahal; Navneet Soin; and Nisa Salim.

The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to a method of fabricating a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) (100). The method (200) includes depositing a conductive graphite layer (108) on a cellulose paper (106). Further, the method (200) includes placing the conductive graphite coated paper (110) in a funnel (112). The method (200) includes dispersing a solution containing two-dimensional (2-D) Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) in N, N-Dimethyl formamide (DMF) solvent obtained by the ultra-sonication of bulk MoS2 dispersed in the DMF in a predefined concentration for a first predefined time period on the graphite coated paper (110) placed in the funnel (112). Furthermore, the method (200) includes heating the funnel (112) having the wet MoS2-deposited graphite-coated paper in an oven (114) at a predefined temperature for a second predefined time period, to obtain dry and solvent-free MoS2-deposited graphite-coated paper."
