Rajashekhar Ningappa Pujar has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11897772
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a simple and inexpensive method to produce reduced Graphene oxide (rGO). The method comprises conversion of low-cost carbon sources such as coal tar pitch (industrial by-product) into a high quality rGO wherein said conversion is carried out by annealing the carbon source at two different temperatures. The rGO is obtained at high yields by employing the present method and the obtained rGO demonstrates high conductivity and good surface area along with very low oxygen content.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 22, 2019
    Date of Patent: February 13, 2024
    Assignees: TATA STEEL LIMITED, CENTRE FOR NANO AND SOFT MATTER SCIENCES
    Inventors: Anand Sen, Sumitesh Das, Shyam Kumar Choudhary, Giridhar Udapi Rao Kulkarni, Murali Gedda, Rajashekhar Ningappa Pujar
  • Patent number: 11569397
    Abstract: The present invention relates to hybrid transparent conducting electrode comprising reduced graphene oxide film, metal mesh and textured glass, wherein the reduced graphene oxide film is coated on the textured glass embedded with the metal mesh or the reduced graphene oxide film is sandwiched between the textured glass and the metal mesh. The present invention also relates to a process of preparing the hybrid conducting transparent conducting electrode. The said transparent conducting electrode exhibits transparency ranging from about 70% to 85% with sheet resistance ranging from about 5 ?/sq to 100 ?/sq.

  • Patent number: 11511999
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to production of electrodes. The present disclosure particularly relates to production of graphene based transparent conducting electrode (TCE). The disclosure provides a simple and environmental friendly process for producing said graphene based TCE by coating of graphene on a modified or non-modified substrate. Said electrode provides large area metal network with reduced non-uniformity of conducting film, visible transparency and low or reduced sheet resistance. The disclosure further relates to a graphene based transparent conductive electrode (TCE).
