MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541133789 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 30, 2025, for 'system for hydrogen evolution using mos2@cnt-coated degummed silk cocoon electrode.'
Inventor(s) include Arun Prasad Murthy; and Neshanth V.
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: "The present invention relates to a system for hydrogen evolution comprising a degummed silk cocoon substrate obtained by removal of sericin to expose a fibrous fibroin matrix (100). A hybrid electrocatalyst comprising molybdenum disulfide and carbon nanotubes (200) is combined with a proton-conductive binder to form a catalyst dispersion (300). The dispersion is deposited onto the degummed silk cocoon substrate and dried to obtain an integrated catalyst-coated electrode structure (400). The coated structure is mounted to establish electrical contact with an external circuit and electrolyte (500). The system is configured as a self-supporting electrode architecture in which the silk cocoon provides a porous fibrous support and the hybrid electrocatalyst forms a conductive catalytic layer. The invention further relates to a method of forming the said system using the disclosed sequential processing steps."
