Multilayer Cap
The Multilayer Cap patent family introduces a MIM-capacitor device that can double or triple the capacitance density of Smoltek's CNF-MIM capacitors. The patent details an invention for a layered energy storage device, specifically a capacitor, built using a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) configuration.
Smoltek can reduce contact resistance in electrolyzers and fuel cells
Smoltek has three new patents granted – in three new and separate patent families, all related to how our technology can reduce contact resistance between different layers in electrochemical cells, mainly for use in electrolyzers and fuel cells. These new patents also bring our IP portfolio to comprise 87 granted patents.
Contact Resistance
The Contact Resistance patent family is covering how to improve a separator plate arrangement for an electrochemical cell by comprising a nanostructure which offers lowered contact resistance between the separator element and the diffusion layer.
Smoltek patent No. 83 now granted – the first in a new family
Smoltek is awarded a new patent. This patent is also the first one in a new patent family called Electro Catalyst Heating, which discloses a way of facilitating endothermic electrocatalytic reactions by adding heat in the catalytic structure in the electrolyzer cell. This patent also brings our IP portfolio to comprise 83 granted patents.
