MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541133153 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, Hyderabad, Telangana, on Dec. 29, 2025, for 'lithium-carbon dioxide battery using electrolyte additive and cathode combination operable in simulated martian gaseous atmosphere.'
Inventor(s) include Ankit Kumar Chourasia; and Chandra Shekhar Sharma.
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: "A low overpotential, long cycle-life lithium-carbon dioxide battery system (100) operable in a simulated Martian gaseous atmosphere (Li-CO2Mars) (112) is disclosed. The battery system (100) includes an anode (102) made of lithium. The battery system (100) further includes a porous cathode (106) having nitrogen-doped carbon. The porous cathode (106) is made of nitrogen-doped carbon and is obtained by pyrolysis of melamine foam. The porous cathode (106) is configured as a freestanding integrated catalyst electrode. Further, the battery system (100) includes a separator (104) between the anode (102) and the porous cathode (106). The battery system (100) further includes a non-aqueous electrolyte comprising a glyme-based solvent, at least one lithium salt, and an additive combination (110) of 2,5-di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone (DBBQ) and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)."
