Smoltek Hydrogen and Impact Coatings Collaborate for Industrialization of CNF Technology
Key Ideas
  • Smoltek Hydrogen partners with Impact Coatings to industrialize its proprietary carbon nanofiber technology for PEM electrolyzers and fuel cells.
  • The collaboration aims to transition from prototypes to industrial production, potentially establishing a scalable and commercially viable solution.
  • Focus areas include improving efficiency in PEM electrolyzers, reducing contact resistance in PEM fuel cells, and exploring new industrial applications.
  • The partnership also involves technical verification, roadmap planning, and collaboration with Impact Coatings' customer base to validate benefits.
Smoltek Hydrogen, a subsidiary of Smoltek Nanotech Holding AB, has entered a strategic collaboration with Impact Coatings, a global leader in PVD coating solutions, to evaluate the industrialization and scaling up of Smoltek's proprietary carbon nanofiber (CNF) technology for use in PEM electrolyzers and fuel cells. By combining expertise in CNF manufacturing and coating with innovative, low-iridium solutions for green hydrogen, the partnership aims to achieve industrial volume production. The focus includes reducing iridium use in PEM electrolyzers, enhancing fuel cell performance, and exploring new applications. Technical verification will assess technology implementation and scalability, with the goal of deepening the collaboration for market development. The collaboration signifies a significant step towards commercialization and strengthening offerings in hydrogen production.
