What differentiates AmorpH2O technology
At AmorpH2O, we think beyond conventional crystalline materials. Our innovation lies in amorphous metal (hydr)oxides — advanced materials with disordered, non-crystalline atomic structures that unlock exceptional adsorption capabilities for water treatment.
Our in-situ impregnation process enables these amorphous materials to be uniformly distributed throughout the carbon matrix, ensuring strong bonding, structural integrity, and scalable manufacturability. The platform can be adapted to multiple form factors, from under-sink cartridges and refrigerator filters to gravity units and point-of-entry systems, making it versatile for households, communities, and industrial applications.
We take this advantage further by integrating amorphous metal (hydr)oxides directly into activated carbon block filters, creating a nano-enabled, multifunctional filtration platform. The carbon block provides mechanical strength, high flow capacity, and organics removal, while the amorphous phases deliver targeted adsorption of toxic inorganics. Together, they form a single, efficient module that simultaneously addresses arsenic, metals, and organic pollutants without impairing flow or lifespan.
In short, AmorpH2O combines the chemistry of amorphous innovation with the practicality of real-world filtration, delivering a next-generation solution that outperforms crystalline-based media in accessibility, selectivity, and adaptability.

Future vision, broader impact
We are ready to apply our technology not only to carbon blocks but also to a wide range of other filters and substrates. Moreover, our materials have the potential to extend beyond decentralized point-of-use systems and be implemented in large-scale municipal water treatment facilities. We welcome collaboration in these areas.
The unique properties and high adsorption capacity of our amorphous technology, combined with our strong scientific foundation, enable opportunities for metals adsorption and recovery, such as from mining wastewater.
Amorphous materials are inherently reactive. Leveraging this characteristic, we can design and synthesize various amorphous metal (hydr)oxides for catalytic and sensor applications in aqueous environments.
