Inventors include Anupam Giri; Rishabh Kanojia; Sandeep Yadav; Santimoy Khilari; Madhu Shukla; and Prerana Verma.
The application for the patent was published on November 06, 2026, under issue no. 45/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to conductive nanocomposite materials, biomass-derived carbon materials, and printed electronic and energy-storage components. Disclosed is a conductive carbon-metal oxide nanocomposite comprising a graphitic carbon-rich matrix derived from lignocellulosic waste biomass (wood dust, crop residue, paper waste etc), the matrix having graphitic carbon rich domains, epitaxial (conformal) interface with the metal oxide, and embedded crystalline metal oxide domains distributed therein to provide a porous, wrinkled, nanosheet-like architecture. The nanocomposite is obtainable by a two-step process including room-temperature formation of a biomass-metal oxide composite or biomass-metal hydroxide composite within a lignocellulosic matrix, followed by controlled thermal annealing to convert the biomass into the graphitic carbon-rich matrix while retaining crystalline metal oxide domains. The material may exhibit linear current-voltage behavior and high capacitive performance. Also disclosed are an ink comprising the nanocomposite and printed electrodes or conducting lines deposited on glass or textile fabric, including flexible conductive patterns for powering LEDs or micro-LED circuits.
