MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641040627 A) filed by National Institute Of Technology, Mangaluru, Karnataka, on March 31, for 'koh-activated carbon derived as anode electrode for battery application.'
Inventor(s) include H. S. Nagaraja; and Arvind Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An anode electrode for batteries comprising potassium hydroxide (KOH) activated carbon derived from combustion of vegetable sunflower oil. The electrode, wherein the said KOH-activated carbon is obtained by burning the vegetable sunflower oil to obtain soot carbon and is activated by mixing with KOH in a 4:1 weight ratio and thermally treated at 550 C for 2 hours. The CDOA-KOH-AC anode delivers an initial discharge capacity of 1660 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 and retains 1196 mAh g-1 after 160 cycles, indicating outstanding cycling stability. Cyclic stability also tested at high current density directly at 500 mA g-1 and maximum capacity reached 739 mAh-1 after 266 cycles and retained 570 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles, indicating outstanding cycling stability."
