Serving the semiconductor and hydrogen industries with advanced materials engineering solutions

We research and devel­op pio­neer­ing tech­nol­o­gy appli­ca­tions based on car­bon nanofibers (CNFs) and oth­er dis­rup­tive nanostructures.

How we can serve your industry

We push the limits of nanotechnology

Smoltek is devel­op­ing process tech­nol­o­gy and con­cepts for appli­ca­tions based on car­bon nan­otech­nol­o­gy in order to solve advanced mate­ri­als engi­neer­ing prob­lems. By pio­neer­ing car­bon nan­otech­nol­o­gy we are lit­er­al­ly push­ing the lim­its of what is pos­si­ble in the semi­con­duc­tor and hydro­gen industries.

Our main focus is based on car­bon nanofibers (CNFs), which have very excit­ing prop­er­ties and we have devel­oped a tech­nol­o­gy plat­form that may dis­rupt tech­ni­cal solu­tions where today’s mate­ri­als have reached their lim­it of performance.

As an exam­ple, we have devel­oped a pro­to­type of the world’s small­est capac­i­tor and we are in the midst of devel­op­ing a new cell-mate­r­i­al with the ambi­tion to dou­ble (or even triple) the area-effi­cien­cy of PEM water-electrolyzers.

Why we do what we do

We are sci­en­tists and engi­neers with a pas­sion for nan­otech­nol­o­gy. We are in the nev­er-end­ing search of how to enhance and fab­ri­cate car­bon nanos­truc­tures with unique prop­er­ties in pre-defined pat­terns to enable bet­ter solu­tions with­in sev­er­al industries.

Smoltek has been granted two new patents

Smoltek’s 75th patent has been grant­ed in Tai­wan and is cov­er­ing the con­cept and man­u­fac­tur­ing of extreme­ly thin ener­gy stor­age devices embed­ded in an inter­pos­er. The ener­gy stor­age device con­cepts can take a large num­ber of forms e.g. dis­crete, inte­grat­ed – or it may take the form where the end result is an inter­pos­er with CNF-MIM…
