MUMBAI, India, June 16 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611055294 A) filed by Dr. Teena Vats; Dr. Abha Pandey; Mr. Karmbir; Mr. Ram Dutt Rikhari; Mr. Amiya Dwivedi; Ms. Gurpreet Kaur; Ms. Renu Chaudhary; Dr. Narjis Fatima; Ms. Nidhi Ruhil; and Ms. Archana Mongia, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on April 30, for 'coal-derived hard carbon and ultrahigh surface area activated carbon for iot energy storage.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Teena Vats; Dr. Abha Pandey; Mr. Karmbir; Mr. Ram Dutt Rikhari; Mr. Amiya Dwivedi; Ms. Gurpreet Kaur; Ms. Renu Chaudhary; Dr. Narjis Fatima; Ms. Nidhi Ruhil; and Ms. Archana Mongia.
The application for the patent was published on June 5, under issue no. 23/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a unified dual-route process for converting coal into hard carbon and ultrahigh surface area activated carbon, and an IoT-based energy storage module using these materials. Hard carbon is produced by demineralization, oxidative pre-treatment, hyper-cross-linking with phenolic resin using a Lewis acid catalyst, and gradient pyrolysis at 1100-1300 C to obtain turbostratic carbon with surface area above 300 m /g. Activated carbon is prepared by potassium hydroxide activation at 750-850 C, yielding hierarchical porous carbon with BET surface area of 2800-3300 m /g. A hybrid module integrating a sodium-ion cell and a supercapacitor utilizes these materials to power wireless sensors and edge computing systems with long cycle life and low self-discharge."
