MUMBAI, India, Aug. 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202431006320 A) filed by Tata Steel Limited, Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, on Jan. 31, 2024, for 'process for preparing intermetallic graphene oxide nanocomposite.'
Inventor(s) include Navin Kumar; Shyam Kumar Choudhary; Vimal Kumar Sharma; and Vanshika Dixit.
The application for the patent was published on Aug. 1, under issue no. 31/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A process (100; 300) for preparing intermetallic graphene oxide nanocomposite (150) is provided. The process includes obtaining (302) a mixture of iron-graphite flakes (120) by pre-processing a waste material (112). The process further includes subjecting (304) the mixture of irongraphite flakes (120) to a first acid treatment and oxidation to obtain a composite of iron oxide (FeO) and graphene oxide (GO) (130). The process further includes subjecting (306) a residue material (132) including zinc and iron to a second acid treatment to obtain an intermetallic iron-zinc salt solution (136). The process further includes adding an alkali solution (138) to the intermetallic iron-zinc salt solution (136) to form intermetallic iron (Fe)- zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (140). The process (100) further includes blending the composite of iron oxide (FeO) and graphene oxide (GO) and the intermetallic iron (Fe)-zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles to form intermetallic graphene oxide nanocomposite (150)."
