MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541112994 A) filed by Christ University, Bangalore, Karnataka, on Nov. 18, 2025, for 'highly porous carbon nanomaterial from cassava peel for energy storage applications thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Jelby George; and Manoj B.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention provides a simple and scalable process for synthesis and utilization highly porous carbon nanomaterial derived from waste cassava peel for energy storage applications. Highly porous carbon nanomaterial with porous sheet like morphology were synthesised from waste cassava peel. The synthesised material has a surface area exceeding 1500 m /g and has a mesoporous texture. The morphology with high surface area and porosity of the synthesized nanomaterial along with its elemental composition comprising carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen make it highly favorable for energy storage applications. A symmetric supercapacitor was constructed using the electrode material and combination electrolyte. The device attained a specific capacitance exceeding 280 F/g at 1 A/g current density, exhibiting good retention capabilities even at 40 A/g, and evident cyclic stability retaining above 99% of its initial specific capacitance even after 10000 cycles. Using cassava peel to extract highly porous carbon nanomaterial would be a beneficial technology for valorization of this agricultural waste."
