Smoltek HydroÂgen is attendÂing the joint interÂnaÂtionÂal meetÂing of ElecÂtroÂchemÂiÂcal and SolÂid-State SciÂence. The meetÂing is arranged by ElecÂtroÂchemÂiÂcal SociÂety Japan, ElecÂtroÂchemÂiÂcal SociÂety Korea and the PRiME 2024/​246th ECS MeetÂing and will be held in HonÂoluÂlu, HI.
Smoltek HydroÂgen is proÂgressÂing towards enhancÂing water elecÂtrolyzÂer (PEMWE) perÂforÂmance with 0.1 mg/​cm² iridÂiÂum loadÂing using our innoÂvÂaÂtive porous transÂport elecÂtrodes (PTEs). By optiÂmizÂing PEMWE assemÂbly and refinÂing the operÂatÂing conÂdiÂtions for PTEs, we are rapidÂly approachÂing the US DepartÂment of EnerÂgy (DOE) targets.

Enabling green hydroÂgen proÂducÂtion on GW scale
CurÂrentÂly, we have achieved perÂforÂmance of 2.5 A/​cm² at less than 2V (~80% cell effiÂcienÂcy), with an iridÂiÂum loadÂing of 0.2 mg/​cm². Our curÂrent focus is on addressÂing the knowlÂedge gap in low-iridÂiÂum loadÂing for the anode catÂaÂlyst layÂer (ACL) with our PTEs, parÂticÂuÂlarÂly regardÂing proton/​electron and water/​gas transÂport and ensure staÂble operÂaÂtion for more than 1,000 hours under indusÂtriÂal conÂdiÂtions. The results will help us to run duraÂbilÂiÂty tests at an iridÂiÂum loadÂing of 0.1 mg/​cm² and surÂpass the preÂviÂous record.

Smoltek HydroÂgen presents: ImprovÂing PerÂforÂmance of PEM Water ElecÂtrolÂyÂsis UtiÂlizÂing Nanofiber-Enhanced Porous TransÂport ElecÂtrodes with Low IridÂiÂum ConÂtent
When: WednesÂday, 9 OctoÂber 2024, 14:40–15:00 Hawaii StanÂdard Time (HST)
Where: Room 312 (levÂel 3, Hawaii ConÂvenÂtion CenÂter)
ConÂferÂence code: I01-B2828
MoreÂover, the recent breakÂthrough with A4-sized subÂstrates has furÂther accelÂerÂatÂed Smoltek HydroÂgen’s vision of enabling green hydroÂgen proÂducÂtion on a GW scale with lowÂer preÂcious metÂal loadings.
The Prime 2024 (246th ECS) event brings togethÂer the most active researchers in acadÂeÂmia, govÂernÂment, and indusÂtry to engage, disÂcuss, and innoÂvate in the areas of elecÂtroÂchemÂistry and solÂid state sciÂence and relatÂed technologies.
- See you in HonÂoluÂlu, OctoÂber 6–11!
Smoltek HydroÂgen PTE techÂniÂcal scope: The low elecÂtriÂcal resisÂtivÂiÂty and high mechanÂiÂcal strength indiÂcate why corÂroÂsion coatÂed nanofibers are an attracÂtive catÂaÂlyst supÂport mateÂrÂiÂal. The soluÂtion offered by Smoltek HydroÂgen takes full advanÂtage of the excepÂtionÂal nanofiber propÂerÂties on a PTL (above illusÂtraÂtion). This method ensures full conÂtact between the nanofibers and the PTL while proÂvidÂing a high surÂface area subÂstrate and catÂaÂlysts can then be depositÂed on top of this subÂstrate. The verÂtiÂcal oriÂenÂtaÂtion of the nanofibers facilÂiÂtates coatÂing of the surÂface with addiÂtionÂal layÂers of mateÂrÂiÂal, such as corÂroÂsion proÂtecÂtion layÂers or catÂaÂlyst particles.
