Increasing the available surface for critical processes

Smoltek devel­ops appli­ca­tions based on nan­otech­nol­o­gy to solve advanced mate­ri­als engi­neer­ing chal­lenges. Our patent-pro­tect­ed car­bon nan­otech­nol­o­gy rad­i­cal­ly increas­es the avail­able sur­face for chem­i­cal and elec­tri­cal process­es, enabling more com­pact, ener­gy-effi­cient, pow­er­ful and cost-effi­cient prod­ucts. Grow­ing nanos­truc­tures direct­ly on a sur­face can increase the con­tact area tens of thou­sands of times. 

The main benefits of our carbon nanotechnology

Smoltek can grow extreme­ly thin car­bon nanofibers in var­i­ous three-dimen­sion­al struc­tures that mul­ti­ply the address­able sur­face that can be coat­ed with dif­fer­ent mate­ri­als. By doing so, we enable the man­u­fac­tur­ing of mate­ri­als and com­po­nents that make appli­ca­tions such as prod­ucts, com­po­nents and devices bet­ter – much thin­ner, more pow­er­ful, more ener­gy-effi­cient and/​or a lot cheap­er to produce. 

• Reduce size
• Save ener­gy
• Increase pow­er
• Min­i­mize costs 

All the way – from science to productization

Smoltek has a patent-pro­tect­ed nan­otech­nol­o­gy plat­form that can solve advanced mate­r­i­al engi­neer­ing prob­lems in many indus­try sec­tors, start­ing with semi­con­duc­tors and hydro­gen. We com­bine research and devel­op­ment with scale-up activ­i­ties to pro­duc­ti­za­tion, and as an exam­ple we are now devel­op­ing an ultra-thin capac­i­tor device for the mobile phone mar­ket togeth­er with the US-Tai­wanese semi­con­duc­tor giant Yageo.
