Smoltek Hydrogen’s PTE could be a game changer for green hydrogen production
Smoltek Hydrogen has successfully produced hydrogen using just 0.1 mg of iridium per cm² in a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer – a 95% reduction compared to conventional PEM systems (typically around 2 mg/cm²). This could represent a game changer in green hydrogen production according to an article by Parsers Venture Capital Insights.

Smoltek Hydrogen’s breakthrough in reducing iridium usage in PEM electrolyzers is a monumental step forward for the hydrogen industry. This innovation addresses a critical barrier to large-scale hydrogen production, positioning Smoltek as a leader in the field, states Parsers Venture Capital Insights.
Technological background:
The innovation stems from Smoltek’s nanofiber-based Porous Transport Electrode (PTE) architecture, which expands catalytic surface area by 30×, allowing nearly all iridium atoms to actively participate in the reaction, enabling very low loading.
