Immaterial Monolithic MOFs

Immaterial is an advanced materials company at 25 Cambridge Science Park, Cambridge, United Kingdom, working on the energy transition. It develops densified materials, in particular monolithic metal-organic frameworks (m-MOFs), as single-piece structures rather than powders.

Its Wet-AI approach combines digital materials discovery, machine learning and green chemistry synthesis. Demonstrated pilot uses include point-source carbon capture, intermittent hydrogen storage, water harvesting and HVAC energy reduction, plus air purification for NOx, ammonia and VOCs. A multi-tonne manufacturing facility in Cambridge is being commissioned.

• Monolithic MOFs: densified single-piece MOF structures with high volumetric capacity.
• Carbon capture: point-source CO2 capture applications.
• Hydrogen storage: intermittent hydrogen storage solutions.
• HVAC and water: energy reduction and water harvesting technologies.
• Wet-AI discovery: digital discovery with machine learning and green synthesis.

Industrial plants in Vietnam could pilot MOF-based capture of CO2 from flue gas. Hydrogen project developers could evaluate compact storage media. Building and factory operators could test MOFs for HVAC energy savings.

The page describes superior volumetric capacity for monolithic MOFs compared with powders. One material platform serves several applications, from carbon capture to hydrogen storage. The company is backed by industrial investors including SLB, Chevron Technology Ventures, JERA Ventures and UBE. A multi-tonne facility supports supply at scale.

Industrial decarbonization and hydrogen projects need compact, high-capacity adsorbent materials. Vietnam plans for hydrogen, large HVAC loads in factories and carbon capture pilots in heavy industry make such materials relevant to regional partners.

Based at 25 Cambridge Science Park, Cambridge, UK, and a member of Hydrogen Europe. February 2026 announced UBE as a new investor and JERA as a follow-on investor in the Series A2, totaling GBP 14.5 million (about USD 20 million). Investors include SLB, Chevron Technology Ventures and Moeve.
