Smoltek Nanotech Holding AB announces that the group company Smoltek Hydrogen has initiated a collaboration with a company whose extensive build-up of production capacity will make them one of Europe's large manufacturers of electrolyzers. The manufacturer has ordered material samples of Smoltek's cell material for electrolyzers, which they will integrate with their own technology into complete electrolyzer cells. When the manufacturer has carried out comprehensive tests of the electrolyzer cells, the results will be jointly evaluated.

The group company Smoltek Hydrogen has received an order for a number of test samples of cell material for electrolyzers. The material samples consist of porous titanium that will be coated with Smoltek's carbon nanofibers and a corrosion protection. This enables the electrolyzer manufacturer to evaluate how the cell material performs in combination with the manufacturer's other material choices and design.

Smoltek's material is being developed to increase the current density, which is expected to greatly reduce the size and thus the cost of an electrolyzer. In parallel, the amount of iridium* is also reduced by at least 80%. The order for the evaluation was received from one of Europe's leading electrolyzer manufacturers, which in the coming years will invest in extensive expansion of its production capacity to mass produce electrolyzers.
