MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641021693 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Feb. 24, for 'hybrid aluminum-magnesium seawater battery and method of assembly.'
Inventor(s) include Srinivasan Ramanathan; Sreelakshmi Paruvayakode; and Padma Shruti Balaji.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a seawater battery for ocean applications. The seawater battery comprises a plurality of battery modules connected in parallel, each module having electrochemical cells connected in series, wherein each cell includes an anode and a cathode immersed in a shared aqueous electrolyte. The battery utilizes a hybrid anode configuration wherein at least one cell comprises a magnesium or magnesium alloy anode and at least one other cell comprises an aluminum or aluminum alloy anode. This configuration enhances voltage output, minimizes position-dependent unwanted dissolution rates, and reduces battery mass for deep-ocean applications including long-endurance sensors and autonomous underwater vehicles."
