SMART+IONS is a Reversible Fuel Cell technology
We are not adapting old fuel cell systems, we are building a fundamentally smarter one.
SMART+IONS Oy is a Finnish deep-tech startup founded by experts in materials science, energy systems, and manufacturing to commercialize a decade of breakthrough research at Aalto University and Tampere University. Our Smart Cell technology combines clean electricity generation and green hydrogen production in a single, compact, and reversible energy solution.
Designed with sustainability, efficiency, and adaptability at its core, our system meets the demands of modern energy applications, from high-endurance drones to Power-to-X platforms and beyond. Engineered for silent, emission-free performance, our solution offers a cleaner, sustainable, and more resilient energy future.
Key Capabilities
High performance and durability
Efficient and durable ceramic fuel cell and electrolyser cells operating at low-temperature (300 - 600 C)
Supply Chain Resilience
Our materials, processes and manufacturing support localized production and reduce exposure to global supply chain risks.
Advance Manufacturing
SMART+IONS cells are manufactured using low-cost materials through modern additive manufacturing techniques offering low cost processing. resulting in significantly cheaper solutions than existing market. Furthermore, additive manufacturing offers flexibility in cell design and geometry, which gives SMART+IONS a competitive edge over other fuel cell and electrolyser cell manufacturers.
