Smoltek’s groundbreaking technology for green hydrogen earns expert recognition
Dr Felix N. Büchi, a leading specialist in PEM technology, has evaluated Smoltek Hydrogen’s ground-breaking technology for the Porous Transport Electrode (PTE) for PEM electrolyzers.
Smoltek’s interim report for Q3 2024
Smoltek has published the company's interim report for the third quarter 2024. The report, in both Swedish and English, can be found on the company's website under the Investors tab.
Smoltek Hydrogen receives order for a pre-study of electrochemical devices
Smoltek Hydrogen has received an order to carry out a small preliminary study of a special type of electrochemical cell, adapted for electronic devices. This could open new business opportunities for Smoltek.
Smoltek and cutting-edge research in nanotechnology
Smoltek is a Gothenburg-based materials technology company that specializes in research and development of applications based on carbon nanofibers, which can create new products with revolutionary properties.
The wizard of Smoltek
Smoltek’s recent breakthrough in growing carbon nanofibers (CNF) on an A4-sized area has caught the attention of researchers and industry experts alike. And rightly so! This achievement showcases Smoltek’s unique capabilities and valuable intellectual capital that must be protected. While patents are crucial for safeguarding this, fostering a company culture that empowers our employees is equally important. Let’s dive deeper.
Smoltek Hydrogen achieves milestone with A4-sized CNF-growth
Smoltek Hydrogen has made a significant technological breakthrough. The R&D team has successfully grown carbon nanofibers (CNFs) over an A4-sized area, marking the first time such a large CNF-covered material sample has been fabricated. This breakthrough is a crucial step towards industrial scalability of carbon nanofiber coating, which is a key step in developing the porous transport electrode for PEM electrolyzers and similar solutions for fuel cells being developed by Smoltek Hydrogen.
Circularity – using hydrogen in the carbon nanofiber production process
During the spring, we have had John Schack, a master’s thesis student, with us at Smoltek Hydrogen who has been working on the synthesis of carbon nanofibers (CNF) – where we have adjusted the growth recipe to use hydrogen as input instead of ammonia.
Smoltek Hydrogen has achieved A4 size plasma
Towards scalability of industrial carbon nanofiber growth: The development of the industrial manufacturing concept for Smoltek Hydrogen’s Electrolyzer Cell Material is at its final stages, with aim on being finalized during 2024. As a stepping stone, the capability in the company’s existing Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) tool has been extended and A4 size plasma has been achieved. This is a crucial step towards industrial scalability of carbon nanofiber growth.
Smoltek receives 22.4 million through a rights issue
Smoltek Nanotech Holding AB carried out a rights issue during May and June, which was subscribed to 86.4 percent. As a result, approximately SEK 22.4 million was added to the company, before issue costs.
We have the technology to make production of green hydrogen profitable
Smoltek Hydrogen has developed a new material that solves the major technical challenge that threatens to halt the fast-growing industry for green hydrogen produced by intermittent energy sources, such as solar and wind power. With the groundbreaking nanomaterial, the use of iridium (catalysts) in PEM electrolyzers can be reduced to levels that make large-scale hydrogen production profitable.
Smoltek Hydrogen’s plans revealed
Ellinor Ehrnberg, CEO of Smoltek Hydrogen, is interviewed in a popular podcast. She is asked about her career, the current challenges facing the hydrogen industry, how Smoltek Hydrogen is solving them and the company's future plans. You won't want to miss this! Read the summary and listen to the podcast.
Smoltek Hydrogen has finalized design of a Prototype Coater tool for carbon nanofibers
Smoltek Hydrogen and AGC Plasma Technology Solutions have finalized the design of a Prototype Coater for industrial growth of carbon nanofibers. The purpose with the tool is to verify that the nanofibers can be grown using a Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) technology from AGC. The technology is scalable and can be extended to be used for substrates of several square meters, for future mass production.
