Industrial Standard in Thermal and Voltage Stability in CNF-MIM Capacitor Technology

Smoltek Semi has cleared a sig­nif­i­cant mile­stone in the devel­op­ment of next-gen­er­a­tion CNF-MIM capac­i­tors. Sam­ples from the lat­est pro­to­type gen­er­a­tion, fab­ri­cat­ed with an advanced dielec­tric stack com­posed of zir­co­ni­um oxide (ZrO₂) and alu­minum oxide (Al₂O₃) have demon­strat­ed excep­tion­al sta­bil­i­ty under both tem­per­a­ture and volt­age stress.

E‑fuel made of hydrogen

Jan­u­ary 31, 2024

E‑fuel made of hydrogen

E‑fuel is an umbrel­la term for fos­sil-free alter­na­tives to gaso­line, diesel, and oth­er fos­sil fuels. These fuels are pro­duced by con­vert­ing fos­sil-free hydro­gen and cap­tur­ing car­bon diox­ide. They can be used in exist­ing engines with­out increas­ing the amount of car­bon diox­ide (CO₂) in the atmos­phere. Is this the sil­ver bul­let that allows us to dri­ve cars and oth­er vehi­cles with a clear conscience?

Smoltek’s unfair advantage

An ‘unfair advan­tage’ is a unique com­pet­i­tive advan­tage that oth­ers can­not match. Do you know what Smoltek’s unfair advan­tage is? Car­bon nanofibers? Think again. Or read this light-heart­ed col­umn to find out what our real unfair advan­tage is.

Tech brief: Hydrogen classification systems

Jan­u­ary 16, 2024

Tech brief: Hydrogen classification systems

Hydro­gen can be pro­duced in many dif­fer­ent ways and from dif­fer­ent feed­stocks. The choice of method and feed­stock gives rise to more or less green­house gas emis­sions. In the gen­er­al dis­course on hydro­gen and cli­mate change, it is essen­tial to dis­tin­guish between dif­fer­ent types of hydro­gen. As a result, sys­tems have emerged to clas­si­fy hydro­gen, the most com­mon­ly known and used being col­ors. How­ev­er, the Euro­pean Com­mis­sion has intro­duced one that focus­es more on emis­sions. This tech brief explains the two systems.

The shocking history of capacitors

Dur­ing the fes­tive sea­son, there is time for lon­greads. We, there­fore, want to offer a text that goes beyond what we usu­al­ly write here on the blog but is not entire­ly unre­lat­ed to what Smoltek does. This is the sto­ry of the ori­gin of the capac­i­tor. Hap­py reading!

Smoltek intends to sign an exclusive agreement with Yageo Group

Smoltek has the inten­tion to sign a glob­al exclu­sive license and ser­vices agree­ment for dis­crete and embed­ded capac­i­tors with YAGEO Group. This would grant YAGEO a glob­al, exclu­sive right to man­u­fac­ture and sell capac­i­tor prod­ucts based on Smoltek’s patent pro­tect­ed tech­nol­o­gy plat­form for ultra-thin car­bon nanofiber capac­i­tors (CNF-MIM).

Is Smoltek Hydrogen ahead of the game?

How does Smoltek’s hydro­gen busi­ness divi­sion com­pare with oth­er PEM elec­trolyz­er play­ers? Smoltek Hydrogen’s pres­i­dent, Elli­nor Ehrn­berg, attend­ed the 244th ECS meet­ing in Gothen­burg and has the answer. In this inter­view, she also talks about the chal­lenges of the indus­try and ways to deal with them.

Smoltek Hydrogen is verifying its technology for high-volume manufacturing

Smoltek Hydro­gen has placed an order for the design and engi­neer­ing of a Pro­to­type Coater for indus­tri­al growth of car­bon nanos­truc­tures. The pur­pose is to ver­i­fy that the nanos­truc­tures can be grown using the equip­ment from AGC Plas­ma Tech­nol­o­gy Solu­tions that has been select­ed for future mass pro­duc­tion – a Plas­ma Enhanced Chem­i­cal Vapor Depo­si­tion (PECVD) tool that can be con­fig­ured for sub­strates of sev­er­al square meters.

Background on the tax increase for Smoltek

The Swedish Tax Agency has ordered Smoltek to repay two years of research deduc­tion from the employ­er con­tri­bu­tion. The tax agency believes that Smoltek does not con­duct suf­fi­cient­ly qual­i­fied research and devel­op­ment, which is untrue. This blog post explains the research deduc­tion and why it is so dif­fi­cult to obtain.

Why capacitors?

Smoltek’s busi­ness divi­sion for the semi­con­duc­tor indus­try, Smoltek Semi, focus­es one hun­dred per­cent on capac­i­tors. Why? After all, a capac­i­tor is not a semi­con­duc­tor. And what is the endgame for this ven­ture? These are ques­tions we address in this blog post.

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.

On the Curse of Knowledge and the need for a glossary

On the Curse of Knowledge and the need for a glossary

Smolek has cre­at­ed a glos­sary of terms and abbre­vi­a­tions that may appear in the com­pa­ny’s com­mu­ni­ca­tion. Although every­one who writes for Smoltek does their best to explain in lay­man’s words, tech­ni­cal terms inevitably creep into the text and make it dif­fi­cult to read. This is due to a cog­ni­tive bias known as the Curse of Knowl­edge. This is the sub­ject of this col­umn, pub­lished on the spook­i­est day of them all – Halloween.
