Smoltek Hydrogen achieves milestone with A4-sized CNF-growth

Smoltek Hydrogen has made a significant technological breakthrough. The R&D team has successfully grown carbon nanofibers (CNFs) over an A4-sized area, marking the first time such a large CNF-covered material sample has been fabricated. This breakthrough is a crucial step towards industrial scalability of carbon nanofiber coating, which is a key step in developing the porous transport electrode for PEM electrolyzers and similar solutions for fuel cells being developed by Smoltek Hydrogen.

Smoltek is seeking strong partners for industrialization of CNF-MIM capacitors

Smoltek's CNF-MIM technology offers a competitive alternative to silicon capacitors for ultra-thin high-performance capacitors used in processors for mobile phones and computers. The next-generation capacitors, Gen-One, is planned to be completed by the end of 2024, matching competitors in performance with an exceptionally thin form factor. The strategic objective is to pair up with a financially strong partner for the industrialization and commercialization of the capacitors.

Smoltek Hydrogen has achieved A4 size plasma

Towards scalability of industrial carbon nanofiber growth: The development of the industrial manufacturing concept for Smoltek Hydrogen’s Electrolyzer Cell Material is at its final stages, with aim on being finalized during 2024. As a stepping stone, the capability in the company’s existing Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) tool has been extended and A4 size plasma has been achieved. This is a crucial step towards industrial scalability of carbon nanofiber growth.

We have the technology to make production of green hydrogen profitable

Smoltek Hydrogen has developed a new material that solves the major technical challenge that threatens to halt the fast-growing industry for green hydrogen produced by intermittent energy sources, such as solar and wind power. With the groundbreaking nanomaterial, the use of iridium (catalysts) in PEM electrolyzers can be reduced to levels that make large-scale hydrogen production profitable.

The future for the capacitor industry

Interview with Philip Lessner, CTO of Yageo Group about the future of the capacitor industry, the market and technology needs for ultra-thin capacitors. And how CNF-MIM technology fits into this market.
This is a follow-up to last year's interview, about how the two companies were a perfect fit. Yageo remains interested in Smoltek's CNF-MIM capacitors and sees great potential for using CNF-MIM capacitors now and in the future.
