Porous Liquid Technologies develops a new liquid material, called porous liquid, that has greater absorption capabilities.
Porous liquids-liquids with permanent holes in them-are a fundamentally new and counterintuitive state of matter, first described in 2015 in a joint Nature paper co-authored by researchers at Queen's University of Belfast and the University of Liverpool. This attracted much interest from academic teams and the media worldwide. Porous Liquid Technologies Ltd (PLT) was formed in July 2017 by the inventors to commercialise these materials (http://www.porousliquidtechnologies.com). The first porous liquids were hard to scale up, involving both complex chemistry and toxic solvents. Since 2015, we have solved both of those problems. Our most recent liquids have porosities of around 20%; a huge increase compared to our first-generation materials, opening up a range of applications. PLT has five directors - Prof. Stuart James (Belfast), Prof. Andrew Cooper (Liverpool), Dr Barry Murrer (ex Johnson Matthey), Mr David Moore (QUBIS) and Mr David James.
Spin-out from Queen's University Belfast and University of Liverpool. Has exclusive licenses to porous liquid IP from both universities. Pursuing a number of possible commercial opportunities for porous liquids in gas separations and liquid-liquid separations.
The company is in discussion with a number of potential commercial partners in sectors spanning oil and gas, catalysis, and food and drink.
Currently, there are 7 officers registered with significant control.
Around 30 significant contacts/discussions with potential partner companies to date.

Our project centres on leveraging porous liquids (PL) -- advanced materials exhibiting significant promise in diverse chemical separations. PL formulations consist of a porous solid like zeolites, or MOFs, dispersed within a liquid carrier which is unable to permeate the pore. These materials offer selective adsorption and separation capacities, enabling ...

Reducing the energy requirement and carbon emissions of industrial-scale chemical separation processes is a key goal in slowing climate change. At present, these processes account for approximately 16% of all energy use in the US alone and produce significant greenhouse gas emissions. International policies are transitioning towards a greener, hydrogen-ba...
