Smoltek produces hydrogen with only 0.1 mg of iridium per square centimeter – a breakthrough technology for PEM electrolyzers
This press release is an English version of the previously published Swedish version, which has interpretive precedence. Smoltek Nanotech Holding AB (publ) (“Smoltek” or the “Company”) has developed a porous transport electrode (PTE) that reduces the amount of iridium catalysts in PEM electrolyzers to a minimum of 0.1 mg/cm[2]– the level considered to make large-scale production of PEM electrolyzers profitable. The reduction represents a 95 percent reduction in iridium compared to conventional PEM electrolyzers, which provides a solution to the major challenge that the overuse of iridium
