Jolt Activated Electrodes

Control the electrode, and you control the economics of electrochemistry. Electrochemistry already underpins modern industry — from chlorine, hydrogen and metals to water treatment, fuels, chemicals and energy storage. At the heart of all these systems is the catalyst coated electrode — the component where molecules and electrons are converted into one another and which ultimately determines efficiency, durability and cost at the equipment layer. At Jolt, we are rebuilding this foundational layer. Our Sparkfuze™ coating platform replaces a 60-year-old electrode manufacturing process with a fast, continuous coating system that produces high-performance electrodes in minutes rather than days. Combined with Sparklab, our AI-enabled materials discovery engine, this creates a powerful loop for discovering and industrialising improved catalyst coatings far faster than conventional approaches. In just a few years our team has achieved major improvements in established catalyst systems — reducing precious metal use while increasing durability and lowering energy consumption — and has already moved these advances from the lab into industrial applications. Jolt is a spin-off from ICIQ, one of the world’s leading catalysis and electrochemistry institutes, and we are now deploying our technology commercially across multiple electrochemical sectors. Because in the end, whoever builds the best electrodes shapes the future of electrochemistry.
