The last crusade for 0.1 mg iridium
In the race to make green hydrogen economically viable, researchers worldwide are pursuing the seemingly impossible: reducing iridium use in PEM electrolyzers by 95%. As Smoltek gets closer to this holy grail of 0.1 mg/cm², we examine how other technologies measure up.
Unlocking the green hydrogen economy
When experts talk about the energy systems of the future, they often come back to one specific number: 0.1 milligrams per square centimeter (0.1 mg/cm²). This seemingly insignificant number could be critical to moving green hydrogen from a promising concept to an economic reality.
Deep Trench Capacitors (DTC) is a dead end – CNF-MIM is the way forward
Modern electronics demand increasingly compact and powerful capacitors, and the race for miniaturization has reached a critical juncture. While both Deep Trench Capacitors (DTC) and Carbon Nanofiber Metal-Insulator-Metal (CNF-MIM) capacitors are being developed for advanced applications requiring smaller size and higher capacitance density than conventional surface-mounted capacitors, DTC pushes the boundaries of what’s achievable with subtractive manufacturing, but is hitting fundamental physical limits. In contrast, Smoltek’s innovative CNF-MIM technology offers a revolutionary path forward, unrestricted by these constraints.

New method accelerates CNF-MIM development
Our innovative “zapping” method drastically reduces development time and costs, enabling us to advance CNF-MIM technology faster and making Smoltek Semi’s technology even more attractive to potential buyers. Read on to see how this new process strengthens our position and shortens our path to market.
Why increased capacitance density matter
Smoltek Semi has developed a new material for use in CNF-MIM capacitors. The new material increases capacitance by more than three times and reduces leakage current by 50 percent. In this article, we examine what this means and why it is good for shareholders and investors.
The wizard of Smoltek
Smoltek’s recent breakthrough in growing carbon nanofibers (CNF) on an A4-sized area has caught the attention of researchers and industry experts alike. And rightly so! This achievement showcases Smoltek’s unique capabilities and valuable intellectual capital that must be protected. While patents are crucial for safeguarding this, fostering a company culture that empowers our employees is equally important. Let’s dive deeper.
Why Smoltek doubles down on qualified research
Smoltek’s focus on qualified research places it firmly in the Explorer quadrant of the R&D Evaluation Matrix, a model for assessing a company’s research and development strategy. Discover why this matters to investors and how Smoltek translates groundbreaking research into valuable business opportunities.
The different meanings of R&D
In a world where nearly every company claims to be innovative, it can be challenging for investors to distinguish between incremental improvements and groundbreaking discoveries. This article introduces the R&D Evaluation Matrix, a simple 2×2 model that helps clarify a company’s true innovation strategy, offering valuable insights into its potential for future growth and success.
