MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521130794 A) filed by Symbiosis International, Pune, Maharashtra, on Dec. 23, 2025, for 'method for preparing iodine-functionalized graphene oxide electrode for electrochemical supercapacitor application.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Amol Suhas Vedpathak; Prof. Shrikrishna Dattatraya Sartale; and Ms. Tanuja Nagnath Shinde.
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 method for preparing an iodine-functionalized graphene oxide electrode material for electrochemical supercapacitor applications is disclosed. The method comprises preparing a working electrode by coating graphene oxide, a conductive carbon additive, and a binder onto a conducting substrate. The method further includes assembling a three-electrode electrochemical setup comprising the working electrode, a counter electrode, a reference electrode, and an aqueous electrolyte containing potassium hydroxide and potassium iodide. The working electrode is subjected to cyclic voltammetry treatment at scan rates ranging from 10 to 200 millivolts per second for 10 to 200 cycles within a potential window of negative 1.2 to positive 0.8 volts. The resulting iodine-functionalized graphene oxide electrode exhibits enhanced specific capacitance of approximately 380 farads per gram at 3 amperes per gram, representing a threefold improvement over pristine graphene oxide, and maintains 95 percent capacitance retention after 5000 charge-discharge cycles."
