Our Work
Dark Matter Materials Inc. is a designer and manufacturer of earth abundant, non-noble metal catalysts with remarkable properties that our customers can create new high-value products and clean energy efficiently on-site. We aim to integrate our materials into novel applications.
Clean Hydrogen Generation
We’re redefining hydrogen production with our catalyst-driven process that creates pure hydrogen from nearly any type of water without greenhouse emissions and at a fraction of today’s energy cost.
​
Our aim is to apply our catalysts to produce clean, affordable hydrogen at scale—empowering industries, communities, and nations to decarbonize without sacrificing economic growth.
Industrial Wastewater Remediation
Wastewater & Tailings Treatment
Our process breaks down organics, synthetic polymers and hydrocarbons in industrial water streams producing clean water and hydrogen as a byproduct.
Polymer Recycling & Reforming
We Turn Plastic Waste into Value.
​
We’re converting waste polymers into reusable chemical building blocks for new products —reducing environmental impact and creating new revenue streams for industry.
Water Gas Shift Reaction
Our development of a robust catalyst that supports the water gas shift reaction operating at room temperature represents a monumental breakthrough for the global economy, from industrial scale chemical production to the clean technology sector. We are rewriting the rules for hydrogen production and CO conversion.
Green Ammonia Production
Our process makes hydrogen from any type of water and combines it with nitrogen at atmospheric pressure and temperatures of 300 °C. Far more energy efficient than the 800 °C required for the Haber-Bosch process.
Methane Carbonization to Hâ‚‚
Methane pyrolysis is an emerging technology for producing Hâ‚‚ and amorphous carbon, instead of CO and COâ‚‚, from purified natural gas during steam methane reforming. However, the process still suffers from incomplete conversion and unmitigated release of fugitive methane, a more potent greenhouse gas than COâ‚‚. Further, the process is energy intensive as more energy is required to generate the hydrogen than produced when used as a fuel source (e.g., fuel cells, combustion). Our family of metal-oxide catalysts activate methane at temperatures of ~300 °C, far lower than existing technologies, paving the way for economically viable methane carbonization.
