About Immaterial

Immaterial is an advanced materials company based in Cambridge, United Kingdom, founded in 2015 by David Fairén-Jiménez.

The company specializes in the design, manufacture, and commercialization of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), particularly its patented monolithic MOFs (m-MOFs). This innovative approach allows for the production of dense materials that are four times more effective than traditional powdered MOFs, making them suitable for various industrial applications. Immaterial focuses on several key areas, including carbon capture, hydrogen storage, gas separation, water harvesting, and air purification. Their m-MOFs are engineered to capture carbon dioxide efficiently from industrial sources and store hydrogen gas more effectively than conventional methods. The company collaborates with partners like Moeve and SLB to enhance its technology and deploy pilot systems, aiming to support the global energy transition and promote environmental sustainability.
