Smoltek’s IR blog

Wel­come to the Smoltek blog! Here, we write for share­hold­ers and prospec­tive investors. We expand on tech­ni­cal and finan­cial news, pro­vid­ing back­ground infor­ma­tion and clar­i­fy­ing what makes it note­wor­thy and how it affects our business.

The tone is infor­mal and some­times play­ful. That’s inten­tion­al. Our aim is to make it easy and enjoy­able for you to under­stand our tech­nol­o­gy and busi­ness. We believe that the most valu­able share­hold­ers and investors are those who under­stand our oper­a­tions and believe in what we do. This is a lot to ask, giv­en how tech­ni­cal­ly and com­mer­cial­ly advanced our work is. But we have faith in you.

How Disruptive Innovation Accelerates Industrial Adoption

While tra­di­tion­al devel­op­ment process­es often progress at a mea­sured pace, tru­ly dis­rup­tive tech­nolo­gies, such as Smoltek’s Porous Trans­port Elec­trode (PTE), can dra­mat­i­cal­ly com­press time­lines. When faced with poten­tial­ly mar­ket-chang­ing inno­va­tions, indus­tri­al enter­pris­es must choose between main­tain­ing the sta­tus quo, slow inter­nal devel­op­ment, or embrac­ing part­ner­ship with inno­v­a­tive com­pa­nies like Smoltek Hydrogen.

Tak­ing a break­through tech­nol­o­gy from the lab bench to the world mar­ket often requires col­lab­o­ra­tion with large indus­tri­al enter­pris­es. In this inter­view, Elli­nor Ehrn­berg, pres­i­dent of Smoltek Hydro­gen, explains how the com­pa­ny aligns its own devel­op­ment with that of poten­tial buy­ers while nav­i­gat­ing the com­plex jour­ney from ini­tial inter­est to strate­gic partnership.

For indus­tri­al enter­pris­es, bring­ing new tech­nolo­gies into exist­ing prod­uct lines fol­lows a struc­tured process. Under­stand­ing this process is vital for high-tech com­pa­nies seek­ing inte­gra­tion part­ner­ships. Here, we explain the sys­tem­at­ic jour­ney that gov­erns how indus­tri­al enter­pris­es eval­u­ate and adopt inno­va­tions, and how high-tech com­pa­nies can cre­ate rev­enue oppor­tu­ni­ties at each stage along the way.

Capacitors’ capacity for minimizing COâ‚‚ footprint – a small story

Capacitors’ capacity for minimizing COâ‚‚ footprint – a small story

Feb­ru­ary 27, 2025

In an age where envi­ron­men­tal sus­tain­abil­i­ty is of utter impor­tance, it is cru­cial to find inno­v­a­tive solu­tions to reduce ener­gy con­sump­tion and min­i­mize our car­bon foot­print. One such solu­tion is found in capac­i­tors. These unas­sum­ing elec­tron­ic com­po­nents not only play an impor­tant role in var­i­ous sys­tems, but also offer sig­nif­i­cant envi­ron­men­tal ben­e­fits. Albeit very small – if count­ed one by one.

In the race to make green hydro­gen eco­nom­i­cal­ly viable, researchers world­wide are pur­su­ing the seem­ing­ly impos­si­ble: reduc­ing irid­i­um use in PEM elec­trolyz­ers by 95%. As Smoltek gets clos­er to this holy grail of 0.1 mg/​cm², we exam­ine how oth­er tech­nolo­gies mea­sure up.

When experts talk about the ener­gy sys­tems of the future, they often come back to one spe­cif­ic num­ber: 0.1 mil­ligrams per square cen­time­ter (0.1 mg/​cm²). This seem­ing­ly insignif­i­cant num­ber could be crit­i­cal to mov­ing green hydro­gen from a promis­ing con­cept to an eco­nom­ic reality.

Jan­u­ary 9, 2025

Mod­ern elec­tron­ics demand increas­ing­ly com­pact and pow­er­ful capac­i­tors, and the race for minia­tur­iza­tion has reached a crit­i­cal junc­ture. While both Deep Trench Capac­i­tors (DTC) and Car­bon Nanofiber Met­al-Insu­la­tor-Met­al (CNF-MIM) capac­i­tors are being devel­oped for advanced appli­ca­tions requir­ing small­er size and high­er capac­i­tance den­si­ty than con­ven­tion­al sur­face-mount­ed capac­i­tors, DTC push­es the bound­aries of what’s achiev­able with sub­trac­tive man­u­fac­tur­ing, but is hit­ting fun­da­men­tal phys­i­cal lim­its. In con­trast, Smoltek’s inno­v­a­tive CNF-MIM tech­nol­o­gy offers a rev­o­lu­tion­ary path for­ward, unre­strict­ed by these constraints.

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 dra­mat­i­cal­ly reduce irid­i­um usage while main­tain­ing high per­for­mance in hydro­gen pro­duc­tion. In an exclu­sive inter­view with Smoltek Hydrogen’s Pres­i­dent, Elli­nor Ehrn­berg, Büchi shares insights about the technology’s dis­tinc­tive advan­tages and mar­ket potential.

The ultra-thin capac­i­tor mar­ket is enter­ing a new phase as major play­ers like Mura­ta and Sam­sung invest heav­i­ly in sil­i­con-based solu­tions. In a recent inter­view, YAGEO Group’s CTO Philip Less­ner explains why Smoltek’s CNF-MIM tech­nol­o­gy could offer supe­ri­or advan­tages to sil­i­con-based solu­tions in this rapid­ly grow­ing market.
