Electrolyzer Oxide Coating
The Electrolyzer Oxide Coating family offer a chemically stable solution, coating a nanostructure with non-noble metal oxides, this avoiding the use of expensive platinum for anode porous transport electrodes (PTEs). The inventions also improve the durability and efficiency of the PTE.

Smoltek has received a new patent for improving the capacitance density of our CNF-MIM capacitors. This innovation, a type of capacitor, can increase the capacitance density by two to three times, which is crucial for Smoltek's business and technology growth.
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.
