Smoltek has been granted two new patents – strengthening the Discrete CNF-MIM patent family
Smoltek has been awarded two new patent grants in a patent family called Discrete CNF-MIM. The protected innovation discloses a discrete capacitor component based on our CNF-MIM technology. With these two patents, our IP portfolio will now comprise 89 granted patents.
Smoltek can reduce contact resistance in electrolyzers and fuel cells
Smoltek has three new patents granted – in three new and separate patent families, all related to how our technology can reduce contact resistance between different layers in electrochemical cells, mainly for use in electrolyzers and fuel cells. These new patents also bring our IP portfolio to comprise 87 granted patents.
Smoltek patent No. 84 now granted
Smoltek has been awarded yet another patent in our patent family for Interposers, protecting solutions based on the CNF-MIM capacitor technology. The patent has been granted in Korea, bringing our patent portfolio to 84 granted patents globally.
Smoltek intends to sign an exclusive agreement with Yageo Group
Smoltek has the intention to sign a global exclusive license and services agreement for discrete and embedded capacitors with YAGEO Group. This would grant YAGEO a global, exclusive right to manufacture and sell capacitor products based on Smoltek's patent protected technology platform for ultra-thin carbon nanofiber capacitors (CNF-MIM).
Smoltek Hydrogen is verifying its technology for high-volume manufacturing
Smoltek Hydrogen has placed an order for the design and engineering of a Prototype Coater for industrial growth of carbon nanostructures. The purpose is to verify that the nanostructures can be grown using the equipment from AGC Plasma Technology Solutions that has been selected for future mass production – a Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) tool that can be configured for substrates of several square meters.
Smoltek patent No. 83 now granted – the first in a new family
Smoltek is awarded a new patent. This patent is also the first one in a new patent family called Electro Catalyst Heating, which discloses a way of facilitating endothermic electrocatalytic reactions by adding heat in the catalytic structure in the electrolyzer cell. This patent also brings our IP portfolio to comprise 83 granted patents.
Together towards 0.1 mg iridium/cm2
Smoltek Hydrogen attended the 244th ECS event in Gothenburg, October 8-12. This was a perfect venue to introduce our new material for electrolyzers to potential customers. The message was that now we are ready to engage in product development projects with electrolyzer companies.
We enable the next-generation capacitors
Advanced nano- and microelectronics are at the core of tomorrow’s hardware engineering. At Smoltek we are pioneering carbon nanotechnology that enables manufacturing of the next-generation solutions for the semiconductor industry. Currently the focus is on a new type of carbon nanofiber-based capacitor that fits in the extremely miniaturized packaging architectures being developed by chip manufacturers.
8‑inch format process for capacitors
Smoltek Semi has developed a process for manufacturing of engineering samples in high volumes. This process will now be tested for production of CNF-MIM engineering samples in high volumes, as the first trial-run of capacitor prototypes (without the patent protected carbon nanofibers) was successful.
Smoltek aims to unlock the scale-up for PEM water electrolysis
Efficient use of iridium can boost green hydrogen production in this decade and Smoltek Hydrogen wants to seize the opportunity by offering a nanostructured porous transport electrode that reduces cost and optimizes use of the critical anode catalyst in PEM electrolysis cells.
Smoltek patent No. 82 now granted
Smoltek has been awarded yet another patent in our patent family for Interposers, protecting solutions based on the CNF-MIM capacitor technology. The patent has been granted in India, bringing our patent portfolio to 82 granted patents globally.
Yageo Group sees a lot of potential in Smoltek
Philip Lessner, CTO at YAGEO Group says in an interview that he and Yageo sees a lot of potential in Smotek's disruptive CNF-MIM capacitor technology for making capacitors in extremely small form factors.
