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.
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.
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.
Leading PEM technology expert Dr. Felix Büchi has completed an independent assessment of Smoltek Hydrogen’s Porous Transport Electrode (PTE) technology, confirming its unique ability to dramatically reduce iridium usage while maintaining high performance in hydrogen production. In an exclusive interview with Smoltek Hydrogen’s President, Ellinor Ehrnberg, Büchi shares insights about the technology’s distinctive advantages and market potential.
The ultra-thin capacitor market is entering a new phase as major players like Murata and Samsung invest heavily in silicon-based solutions. In a recent interview, YAGEO Group's CTO Philip Lessner explains why Smoltek's CNF-MIM technology could offer superior advantages to silicon-based solutions in this rapidly growing market.
