The use of green hydrogen has gained momentum in recent years, especially with increasing global concerns over climate change. As a clean and versatile energy carrier, green hydrogen has the potential to revolutionize various sectors, from transportation to industry. In their recent paper, “Electrolysers – Opportunities for the High-Tech Manufacturing Industry,” VoltaChem explores the potential for high-tech manufacturing companies to develop and commercialize electrolysers to meet the growing demand for green hydrogen. The report provides insights into the use of electrolysers for the production of green hydrogen and how this technology can be integrated into various industries, such as the chemical, steel, and refining sectors.
As part of the green hydrogen value chain, SparkNano has also been featured in VoltaChem’s report as a company that provides spatial atomic layer deposition (Spatial ALD) technology for electrolyser manufacturers.
Spatial ALD is a cutting-edge technology that allows for precise, uniform, and conformal thin film deposition on complex 3D surfaces. This makes it an ideal technology for the production of electrolysers, which require a high degree of precision and uniformity. By using Spatial ALD technology, electrolysers can be produced with reduced use of scarce materials, higher efficiency, longer lifespan, and improved performance.
However, the benefits of Spatial ALD technology go beyond just the production of electrolysers. Spatial ALD can also be used to improve the performance and durability of other green energy technologies, such as fuel cells and batteries, making it a versatile technology that has the potential to revolutionize the green energy sector.
At SparkNano, we are committed to developing and commercializing Spatial ALD technology for the production of electrolysers and other green energy technologies. By partnering with manufacturers and researchers, we aim to drive innovation and help accelerate the transition to a more sustainable future.
