MUMBAI, India, Sept. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202431021098 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Science Education And Research Kolkata; and Gail Limited, Nadia, West Bengal, on March 20, 2024, for 'durable self-supported water splitting electrodes.'
Inventor(s) include Maji, Mamoni; Parvin, Sahanaz; Panigrahi, Karamjyoti; Natarajan, Mookan; Majee, Rahul; Thenmani, Nandakumar; and Bhattacharyya, Sayan.
The application for the patent was published on Sept. 26, under issue no. 39/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The electro catalytic water splitting by transition metal-based catalysts is widely prevalent, although the scalability for practical applications is insubstantial due to the obstacles in reproducibly fabricating the large-area uniformly catalyst-loaded electrodes. To address the gap areas, the present invention discloses a stable and flexible alkaline electrolyzer comprised of an alloy-oxide heterostructure as a cathode catalyst, and sulfide-hydroxide heterostructure as an anode catalyst. The electrolyzer of the present invention exhibits a superior performance for alkaline water splitting with increased geometric area up to 100 cm2 with incessant formation of hydrogen bubbles at the cathode."
