About Jolt Solutions

Catalysis that changes the economics of clean chemistry

Jolt Solutions is a deep-tech electrode coating company, spun out of ICIQ — a catalysis research institute ranked amongst the world's top 5. Our mission is simple: bring 21st-century electrodes to the industries that will decarbonise our economy.

Our story

Born out of a top-5 catalysis institute

Jolt Solutions is the largest spinoff of ICIQ — the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia — one of the most prestigious catalysis research institutes in the world, consistently ranked in the global top 5 for its discipline.

For years, our founding team watched industrial electrochemistry stagnate on 50-year-old coating methods while the clean-energy transition demanded a step change. They developed — and patented — SPARKFUZE™: an exothermal process that coats electrodes in under a minute, with a fraction of the energy and a fraction of the precious-metal loading.

Today, Jolt's Barcelona factory produces electrodes for AWE, AEM, chlor-alkali, electrowinning and beyond — and is already shipping to commercial customers globally.

Mission, vision & values

What drives us, day in and day out

Mission

Unlock the economics of clean electrochemistry — making green hydrogen, chlor-alkali, wastewater and industrial electrolysis cheaper, cleaner and more durable with one coating platform.

Vision

A global network of SPARKFUZE™ lines next to every major electrolyser and electrochemical plant on Earth — so that catalysis, finally, becomes a solved problem.

Values

Deep science, engineering rigour, radical transparency with our customers, and a relentless focus on real-world industrial impact — not headlines.

Our team

A team built around top-5 catalysis research

Jolt brings together PhDs in catalysis and electrochemistry, process engineers from large-scale industrial manufacturing, and commercial leaders from the energy and chemicals sectors.

We share a common obsession: taking a discovery out of the lab and into a real industrial line, with real customers, real tonnes of product, and a real CO₂ balance.

Our R&D keeps a tight loop with ICIQ, giving the team continuous access to world-class catalysis science while executing on multi-year industrial roadmaps.

Heinemann quote

It may appear that the whole of catalytic technology is relatively mature. This is, however, a misconception because history teaches us that fields which appear mature are suddenly revitalised by a major discovery.
