MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641043771 A) filed by Nitte, Mangaluru, Karnataka, on April 6, for 'an electrochemical device for eco-nano detection of chemical analytes.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Sneha Nayak; Dr. Sarvajith M S; Nikshitha M; Rashi Shetty; Chaithra; Vignesh Mallya; and Achsah Monthero.

The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Disclosed herein an electrochemical device (100) for eco-nano detection of chemical analytes. The device (100) comprises a glassy carbon electrode (102) configured as a working electrode and a nanocomposite coating (104) disposed on a surface of the glassy carbon electrode (102). The nanocomposite coating (104) includes silver nanoparticles (106) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (108). The silver nanoparticles (106) facilitate electrochemical redox reactions of target analytes, while the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (108) provide conductive pathways within the nanocomposite coating (104). The nanocomposite coating (104) forms a conductive network on the electrode surface to support electrochemical oxidation-reduction of chemical analytes, thereby generating measurable current signals proportional to analyte concentration. The device (100) is configured to perform cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry and enables stable, repeatable, and sensitive simultaneous detection of multiple chemical analytes."
