Making Electrodes Faster, Cheaper, and Scalable Anywhere | Leon Rizzi - Jolt Solutions

In this episode of Scouted by GreyB, we speak with Leon Rizzi, Founder of Jolt Solutions, about why electrodes—not electrolyzers—are the real bottleneck in electrochemistry. Leon explains how Jolt’s one-minute solution-combustion coating process is enabling faster, cheaper, and more durable electrodes across hydrogen, chlorine, and water treatment applications.
