MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647096602 A) filed by Toray Industries, Inc. on August 10, 2026, for Porous Carbon Sheet And Water Electrolysis Device.

Inventors include Masui Takanari; Wakatsuki Yuya; Oda Shinji; and Inoue Mikio.

The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a low-cost porous carbon sheet that has a high compression deformation rate when constituting a water electrolysis cell, does not have the problems of penetration and short-circuiting, and has excellent electrical conductivity. The porous carbon sheet is a sheet-shaped structure having a porous structure in which carbon fibers are bound by a binder. The porous carbon sheet has a thickness d0 under a pressure of 0.15 MPa of 1.8-3.0 mm, a thickness d1 under a pressure of 1.0 MPa of 85% or more of the thickness d0 under the pressure of 0.15 MPa, and a thickness d2 under a pressure of 4.5 MPa of 75% or less of the thickness d0 under the pressure of 0.15 MPa.
