Smoltek is leading the development of green hydrogen processes to enable “green steel” production, addressing the steel industry’s significant environmental impact—accounting for approximately 8% of global energy-related CO2 emissions according to the International Energy Agency. The company is collaborating with Chalmers University of Technology through a WISE-funded research project to develop breakthrough process technology. In an...
...the field of increasing the efficiency in electrochemical cells, both for electrolyzers and fuel cells Fabian Wenger, Head of R&D at Smoltek Hydrogen Innovation description of the new patent families Contact Resistance patent family: The Innovation improve a separator plate arrangement for an electrochemical cell by comprising a nanostructure which offers lowered contact resistance between the separator element...
...Hydrogen Innovation description of the Electro Catalyst Heating patent family The Innovation in brief: An electrolyzer comprising a heating apparatus operated by propagating electromagnetic fields. From the published abstract: An electrolyzer comprising a first and a second electrode and an ion exchange membrane arranged in-between the first and the second electrode, where each electrode comprises a conductive...
Smoltek conducts advanced applied industrial research, where researchers use strictly scientific methods and principles. Most of the time, the researchers start from carbon nanofibers to then investigate which other metals, dielectrics etc. can be coated on the nanofibers (in several layers) in order to achieve the desired properties. Just over a third of all employees at...
Smoltek’s R&D‑team has carried out solid and determined work in order to achieve proof-of-concept of Smoltek’s nanofiber-based cell material for electrolyzers. This also constitutes a further confirmation of the opportunities with our patent protected technology platform for controlled nanofiber growth. The technology has substantial potential to be used to contribute to a new generation of PEM (Proton...
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 significantly reduce iridium usage while maintaining the same high performance in hydrogen production as conventional technology....
Håkan Persson, CEO of Smoltek comments on the period (excerpt): ”We are currently in an active phase of dialogues with potential stakeholders as part of the tender process we started for the summer. Our focus is on seeking strategic partners who can contribute both capital and industrial expertise, which will accelerate the commercialization of our...
Sankar will be employed by Smoltek Hydrogen and share his time between our efforts to develop our innovative electrolyzer material (ECM) and postdoctoral research in PEM anode coatings together with Prof. Zhenyuan Xia from the Institute of Material Science at Chalmers University of Technology. Sankar has most recently made a postdoctoral stay at IMS Chalmers and...
Håkan Persson most recently comes from the position as Interim SVP Sales & Strategy for the biometrics company Next Biometrics, which is listed in Norway. He has previously been CEO or interim CEO of other listed technology companies such as Neonode, Precise Biometrics and Scalado, and has held several leading positions with sales and operational responsibility...
Göteborg-based nanotechnology company Smoltek has achieved a significant technical milestone by manufacturing a CNF-MIM capacitor with a capacitance of 1 microfarad per square millimeter. This breakthrough was accomplished through collaboration between subsidiary Smoltek Semi and Taiwanese partner Skytech, utilizing advanced Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) equipment. The development work, initiated earlier this year, focused on optimizing ALD films deposited on...
Håkan Persson took over as CEO of Smoltek in October 2021 as part of the company’s expanded efforts to industrialize and commercialize its two main development projects: extremely thin and high-performance capacitors (CNF-MIM capacitors) for processors in mobile phones and other similar applications, and a highly efficient new cell-material for membranes in electrolyzers for more efficient...
The purpose of the proof-of-concept study is to confirm that our electrically conductive, vertically aligned carbon nanofibers can function as an interconnect between an integrated circuit and a sensor material that is not compatible with metals. We have been collaborating with the global medtech company for some time and a number of initial tests have already been...
