Smoltek has been granted a new patent within hydrogen technology
Smoltek has been awarded a new patent within the hydrogen business area. The patent discloses an invention for corrosion protection of nanostructures with non-noble metal oxides on the anode in PEM water electrolysis, improving the durability and efficiency of electrodes with low iridium loading.
Electrolyzer Oxide Coating
The Electrolyzer Oxide Coating family offer a chemically stable solution, coating a nanostructure with non-noble metal oxides, this avoiding the use of expensive platinum for anode porous transport electrodes (PTEs). The inventions also improve the durability and efficiency of the PTE.
