Patents

Smol­tek uses a glob­al pat­ent strategy to pro­tect our tech­no­logy plat­form in all import­ant mar­kets. This includes core pat­ents as well as pat­ent pro­tec­tion at applic­a­tion level. At present, we have a pat­ent port­fo­lio that com­prises about 110 applied and pending pat­ents, dis­trib­uted among 20 pat­ent fam­il­ies, of which 80 are granted. 

The stra­tegic and con­tinu­ous devel­op­ment of our pat­ent port­fo­lio is driv­en by the need for dis­rupt­ive mater­i­als and tech­nic­al solu­tions that enables indus­tri­ally com­pat­ible fab­ric­a­tion of nano­struc­tures for vari­ous applic­a­tions, like ultra-thin capa­cit­ors and new high-per­form­ance cell mater­i­al for electrolyzers. 

Our innov­at­ive tech­no­logy plat­form is pro­tec­ted with an IP-port­fo­lio of +110 pat­ents gran­ted and pending, as well as a sig­ni­fic­ant body of know-how and trade secrets.

Smoltek Patent No 80 Electro Catalyst Support

Electro Catalyst Support

The Electro Catalyst Support family is covering an electrolyzer and a method for producing a catalyst supported on a nanostructure. The innovation is targeted towards the production of green hydrogen and discloses how carbon nanofibers can support the iridium catalyst load in a PEM-electrolyzer in a better way.
WO2020080993A1_web-patents-01

Discrete CNF-MIM

The Discrete CNF-MIM patent family is covering a method for manufacturing of discrete capacitor components based on our CNF-MIM technology. The innovation exploits the extra-ordinary surface to volume ratio provided by carbon nanofibers to create a MIM capacitor with unparalleled high capacitance density.
