Smoltek Hydrogen enables more cost-effective green hydrogen production
Smoltek's nanofibers dramatically increase catalytic activity for ultra-low-iridium electrolysis enabling more cost-effective green hydrogen production.
April 8, 2025
Smoltek’s Porous TransÂport ElecÂtrode (PTE) techÂnolÂoÂgy increasÂes availÂable surÂface area 30-fold — while using up to 95% less iridium.
The design of Smoltek HydroÂgen’s PTE for PEMWE (PEM elecÂtrolyzÂers) involves a unique approach where we have develÂoped an enhanced surÂface area that facilÂiÂtates us to deposit ultra-low levÂels of IridÂiÂum catÂaÂlyst strucÂtures. The designed elecÂtrodes improve the iridÂiÂum utiÂlizaÂtion ratio durÂing water elecÂtrolÂyÂsis, which will evenÂtuÂalÂly enhance the elecÂtrolyzÂer perÂforÂmance and durability.
ChemÂiÂcal EngiÂneerÂing, a well-reputÂed magÂaÂzine, has noticed our soluÂtion and writÂten an artiÂcle about us.
