Molekule’s Patented PECO Technology

Molekule’s proprietary technology, Photo Electrochemical Oxidation (PECO), works at the molecular level to destroy pollutants. Take a deep breath and see what makes Molekule air purifiers the first of their kind.

Science at the nanoscale

Developed over two decades by research scientists, PECO is an innovative technology that utilizes free radicals—the same radicals used to destroy cancer cells—to break down pollutants at a molecular level, including VOCs, bacteria, mold, viruses, and allergens. By using nanotechnology, PECO is able to destroy pollutants 1000 times smaller than what traditional HEPA filters can trap.

  • Free Radical (OH•)
  • Oxygen (O2)
  • Virus (C,O,H,N)
  • Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
  • Water (H2O)
  • Trace Elements (N2, etc)

The path to clean air.

    STEP 1: 360° Air Intake

    Molekule takes in the surrounding air from every angle.

PECO destroys pollutants. HEPA simply collects them.

HEPA simulation

Mold and bacteria live and grow on HEPA filters. PECO destroys them.

Pollutants trapped on HEPA filters can grow and be released back into the air you breathe. PECO destroys bacteria, mold, and other pollutants such as allergens, ozone, and VOCs.

HEPA simulation

HEPA filters can’t remove the smallest pollutants, like VOCs. PECO destroys VOCs.

Many harmful pollutants are under 0.3 microns and too small for HEPA filters to capture. PECO technology destroys even the tiniest pollutants, including VOCs.

Under the microscope

Unlike HEPA, PECO can eliminate pollutants at a microscopic scale (including VOCs and viruses) while producing no ozone, making Molekule the only product that safely eradicates the full spectrum of indoor air pollutants. These claims have been extensively tested by certified laboratories, and in the spirit of scientific transparency, Molekule also publishes all of its performance data.

Before Molekule

Black mold captured on the surface of the Molekule PECO-Filter before being broken down.

Destruction

Black mold in the process of being oxidized (broken down).

Elimination

Black mold is oxidized and eliminated.

PECO: the clear winner against HEPA

Mold destruction

(on 3.4 million black mold spores)

Mold spreads through the air and finds surfaces to grow on. While HEPA filters can catch mold, they also become perfect places for mold growth. Eventually, this mold gets released back into the air. Because nothing is collected during Molekule’s purification process, mold is quickly and permanently removed from the air.

VOCs destruction

(on 1000 parts per billion)

Independent lab results have shown that PECO destroys VOCs quickly and efficiently. VOCs are too small to be captured by even the best-in-class HEPA filter. Carbon filters, while able to capture some chemicals initially, re-emit these same chemicals back into the air.

Allergens destruction

(on 1 million allergens)

PECO breaks down even the smallest allergens, like pollen, dust mites, and dander to provide truly allergen free air.

Virus destruction

(on 3.4 million MS2 viruses)

Viruses are so small they can easily escape HEPA filters, but even if they are caught on the filter they can remain viable for up to 200 days. PECO offers the first effective solution for managing the spread of airborne infectious diseases. In just two minutes, Molekule can eliminate millions of airborne viruses that are brought indoors.

Bacteria destruction

(on 9.7 million e. coli bacteria)

Bacteria can easily stay alive on traditional HEPA filters. Studies have shown that bacteria can multiply on these filters and get released back into the air. Even if the bacteria die, they can still release endotoxins into the air if not properly eliminated. Molekule breaks down even the smallest bacteria before they have a chance to accumulate.

Mold destruction

(on 3.4 million black mold spores)

Mold spreads through the air and finds surfaces to grow on. While HEPA filters can catch mold, they also become perfect places for mold growth. Eventually, this mold gets released back into the air. Because nothing is collected during Molekule’s purification process, mold is quickly and permanently removed from the air.

The Molekule effect.

Molekule’s PECO technology has been tested by real people in an allergy beta study published in the Journal of Allergy & Rhinology. The experiment was conducted on 46 participants who had previously reported asthma and allergy symptoms. Read the report to see how Molekule performed.
