Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is one of the most concerning and challenging pollutants the UK faces. Removing it from our air, particularly in domestic settings such as the home, is one of the UK's top priorities in its Clean Air Strategy. Immaterial is a spin-out company from the University of Cambridge that has developed a novel porous material that captures m...

Air quality is a public health issue under ever-increasing scrutiny. With people in the UK spending the majority of their time in indoor environments, air quality at home, in the workplace, and in our schools is now receiving significant attention. A wide range of pollutants may be found in indoor environments and the health impacts associated with these ...

Fume events are rare but when they occur, they can have a severe and tragic impact on human life. Many toxic compounds have been associated with fume events, some of which current technologies are unable to remove. Immaterial is an advanced materials company with unique cutting-edge technology for the filtration and trapping of toxic compounds. In partner...

A car's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system requires up to 8-10kW to run, making it the most energy-intensive auxiliary system in a passenger vehicle. The impact is especially pronounced in electric vehicles, which cannot use heat from the engine, and where energy lost cannot be recycled through regenerative breaking. The result is up...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an exciting class of porous materials, with added versatility and performance over competing materials such as zeolites, activated carbons, and traditional catalysts. With large internal surface areas acting as sites for molecules to adsorb to, MOFs possess some of the highest gas storage capacities of any known materia...

Immaterial Labs Ltd is a spinout from the University of Cambridge. They design and manufacture porous nano-materials called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for applications in gas storage, gas separation, and catalysis. These materials soak up gases much like a sponge soaks up water. IMM have developed a technology for producing mechanically and chemicall...

Awaiting Public Project Summary

Traditionally, the storage and transportation of natural gas requires either 1) high-compression at 250 bar (CNG), or 2) liquefaction at -162 °C (LNG). Both these methods are energy-intensive and costly. A third much cheaper option uses a porous material to enable gas to be adsorbed at the molecular level at lower pressures. Immaterial designs and manufac...
