MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541085121 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Science, Bangalore, Karnataka, on Sept. 8, 2025, for 'photorechargeable supercapacitor and method of fabricating photorechargeable supercapacitor electrode.'
Inventor(s) include Pankaj Singh Chauhan; Mihir Parekh; Apparao M. Rao; and Abha Misra.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A method (100) of fabricating a photorechargeable supercapacitor electrode for a photorechargeable supercapacitor (200) which exhibits 3000% capacitance enhancement upon UV illumination and an increase in capacitance with increased current density is disclosed. The method (100) includes applying a zinc precursor solution onto a transparent conductive substrate to form overlapping seed layers, followed by thermal decomposition to produce zinc oxide nanoseeds. The transparent conductive substrate is then immersed in a growth solution to grow zinc oxide nanorods from the nanoseeds. The overlapping nanoseeds provide multiple nucleation sites with varied growth orientations, resulting in randomly oriented nanorods. The multidirectional growth enhances porosity and reduces packing density and increases electrode-electrolyte interface area."
