Impact Coatings and Smoltek Hydrogen have announced a collaboration to explore the integration of Smoltek Hydrogen’s carbon nanofiber (CNF) technology into Impact Coatings' PVD systems. This partnership aims to enhance the performance of coatings used in PEM electrolyzers and fuel cells, key components in transitioning to green hydrogen. The goal is to assess the compatibility of Smoltek’s CNF technology with Impact Coatings’ systems and validate its scalability for industrial production. Both CEOs, Jonas Nilsson of Impact Coatings and Ellinor Ehrnberg of Smoltek Hydrogen, are optimistic about the potential synergies between PVD coatings and CNF materials. They believe that combining their expertise will lead to innovative solutions that address the evolving needs of hydrogen production and fuel cell technology. The collaboration signifies a significant step towards commercializing CNF technology and exploring new avenues for enhancing performance in critical hydrogen applications. This initiative showcases a positive outlook on the role of carbon nanofibers in advancing green hydrogen technologies.
