MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611022623 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, on Feb. 25, for 'laser-induced free-standing carbon electrode, and method of fabrication thereof.'

Inventor(s) include Jyoti Shikhar; Swati Sharma; Joseph Nishanth; and Sudarshan Narayanan.

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: "Disclosed herein is a method for freestanding electrode fabrication. The method comprises steps of: performing (S1) infrared (IR) laser irradiation on one surface of a polyimide sheet (102) to form a carbonized surface (104) thereon; creating (S2) microperforated mesh pattern (106) of 1 mm diameter holes with 2.5 mm gap between two consecutive holes on opposite surface of the polyimide sheet (102) through IR laser; and applying (S3) a conductive paste coating (108) on the microperforated mesh pattern surface (106) of the polyimide sheet (102). The said electrode is directly implemented as anode in coin or pouch or cylindrical cells for metal-ion battery applications."
