Immaterial develops metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that exhibit ultra-high hydrogen storage efficiency. MOFs are made of porous coordination polymers - carefully selected components, when mixed together, self-assemble into a precise lattice structure with metal ions at each corner and organic linkers at each edge. The company can design MOFs with highly specific pore sizes, surface chemistry and wide range of other physical properties, depending on needs. They use molecular modeling methods to select the most effective material and solve the customer's "problem" based on a combination of system performance metrics and other relevant properties not covered by computational screening, such as chemical stability, strength and ease of synthesis.
