MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621000179 A) filed by Dr. Kalpana Wamanrao Palghadmal; Prashant Laxman Harale; Ashvin Ramesh Gavit; and Dr. Zine Aruna Santosh, Rahata, Maharashtra, on Jan. 1, for 'method for producing high-purity hydrogen via photoelectrochemical water splitting.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Kalpana Wamanrao Palghadmal; Prashant Laxman Harale; Ashvin Ramesh Gavit; and Dr. Zine Aruna Santosh.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a method for producing high-purity hydrogen via photoelectrochemical water splitting using solar energy. The method employs a nanostructured semiconductor photoelectrode with surface-functionalized co-catalysts and an ion-selective membrane to enhance light absorption, charge separation, and prevent oxygen crossover. The system allows efficient hydrogen generation with purity exceeding 99.9% without requiring external electrical bias or extensive purification processes. The invention provides a scalable, energy-efficient, and environmentally sustainable solution for hydrogen production suitable for fuel cells, industrial applications, and renewable energy storage."
