Circularity – using hydrogen in the carbon nanofiber production process
DurÂing the spring, we have had John Schack, a master’s theÂsis stuÂdent, with us at Smoltek HydroÂgen who has been workÂing on the synÂtheÂsis of carÂbon nanofibers (CNF) – where we have adjustÂed the growth recipe to use hydroÂgen as input instead of ammonia.

Smoltek Hydrogen has achieved A4 size plasma
Towards scalÂaÂbilÂiÂty of indusÂtriÂal carÂbon nanofiber growth: The develÂopÂment of the indusÂtriÂal manÂuÂfacÂturÂing conÂcept for Smoltek Hydrogen’s ElecÂtrolyzÂer Cell MateÂrÂiÂal is at its final stages, with aim on being finalÂized durÂing 2024. As a stepÂping stone, the capaÂbilÂiÂty in the company’s existÂing PlasÂma Enhanced ChemÂiÂcal Vapor DepoÂsiÂtion (PECVD) tool has been extendÂed and A4 size plasÂma has been achieved. This is a cruÂcial step towards indusÂtriÂal scalÂaÂbilÂiÂty of carÂbon nanofiber growth.

We have the technology to make production of green hydrogen profitable
Smoltek HydroÂgen has develÂoped a new mateÂrÂiÂal that solves the major techÂniÂcal chalÂlenge that threatÂens to halt the fast-growÂing indusÂtry for green hydroÂgen proÂduced by interÂmitÂtent enerÂgy sources, such as solar and wind powÂer. With the groundÂbreakÂing nanoÂmaÂteÂrÂiÂal, the use of iridÂiÂum (catÂaÂlysts) in PEM elecÂtrolyzÂers can be reduced to levÂels that make large-scale hydroÂgen proÂducÂtion profitable.

Smoltek Hydrogen has finalized design of a Prototype Coater tool for carbon nanofibers
Smoltek HydroÂgen and AGC PlasÂma TechÂnolÂoÂgy SoluÂtions have finalÂized the design of a ProÂtoÂtype Coater for indusÂtriÂal growth of carÂbon nanofibers. The purÂpose with the tool is to verÂiÂfy that the nanofibers can be grown using a PlasÂma Enhanced ChemÂiÂcal Vapor DepoÂsiÂtion (PECVD) techÂnolÂoÂgy from AGC. The techÂnolÂoÂgy is scalÂable and can be extendÂed to be used for subÂstrates of sevÂerÂal square meters, for future mass production.

World-leading vehicle manufacturer is testing custom-made cell material
One of the world’s largest vehiÂcle manÂuÂfacÂturÂers is testÂing cusÂtom-made proÂtoÂtypes of a cell mateÂrÂiÂal that can sigÂnifÂiÂcantÂly reduce the amount of iridÂiÂum in an elecÂtrolyzÂer cell. The cusÂtom-made proÂtoÂtypes delivÂered by the subÂsidiary Smoltek HydroÂgen have the potenÂtial to reduce the iridÂiÂum load in elecÂtrolyzÂer cells by 95% comÂpared to today’s comÂmerÂcial mateÂriÂals, which is a preÂreqÂuiÂsite for large-scale proÂducÂtion of fosÂsil-free hydrogen.

Advancing Electrochemical Efficiency
Smolek has received patents for three brand-new innoÂvaÂtions that all aim to improve the elecÂtriÂcal conÂtact inside PEM elecÂtrolyzÂers, fuel cells, and batÂterÂies. This artiÂcle briefly explains the three innoÂvaÂtions in layman’s terms. HopeÂfulÂly, after readÂing, you will be as excitÂed as we are about the unique posiÂtion Smoltek has gained in the clean enerÂgy marÂket with these patents.

The Hydrogen Ladder
Clean hydroÂgen is essenÂtial to limÂit globÂal warmÂing to below 2°C. Despite the influx of fundÂing, wideÂspread adopÂtion is difÂfiÂcult due to the limÂitÂed availÂabilÂiÂty of green elecÂtricÂiÂty. Michael LiebreÂich sugÂgests priÂorÂiÂtizÂing appliÂcaÂtions via his HydroÂgen LadÂder frameÂwork. In this blog post we explore its implications.

Smoltek can reduce contact resistance in electrolyzers and fuel cells
Smoltek has three new patents grantÂed – in three new and sepÂaÂrate patent famÂiÂlies, all relatÂed to how our techÂnolÂoÂgy can reduce conÂtact resisÂtance between difÂferÂent layÂers in elecÂtroÂchemÂiÂcal cells, mainÂly for use in elecÂtrolyzÂers and fuel cells. These new patents also bring our IP portÂfoÂlio to comÂprise 87 grantÂed patents.

Hydrogen is used for more than you think
Clean hydroÂgen is on the rise. In many areas, it’s one of the few, if not the only, viable soluÂtions to reduce CO2 emisÂsions. The areas of use are many and varÂied. ProÂvidÂing a comÂplete list is imposÂsiÂble, as new appliÂcaÂtions are emergÂing almost daiÂly. To give you a sense of how diverse the marÂket is, this post describes the five key areas of hydroÂgen appliÂcaÂtions, first at a glance and then in more detail. The post ends with a selecÂtion of appliÂcaÂtions from the difÂferÂent areas.
