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 technology was designed to trap.

The path to clean air.

1

STEP 1: 360° Air Intake

Molekule takes in the surrounding air from every angle.
2

STEP 2: Pre-Filter

Air gets circulated through the Pre-Filter, trapping large allergens like dust and dander, while slowing down VOCs on their way to the PECO-FiIter where they are destroyed.
3

STEP 3: PECO-Filter

Purification at its best. A chemical reaction occurs when a nanoparticle-coated filter is activated by light, breaking down harmful pollutants to their most basic molecular components.
4

STEP 4: Pure Air

Molekule releases harmless molecules that are meant to be in the air, reducing the presence of harmful pollutants.

PECO destroys pollutants. HEPA simply collects them.

HEPA simulation

Mold and bacteria can 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 technology isn't designed to remove the smallest pollutants, like VOCs. PECO destroys VOCs.

Many harmful pollutants are under the 0.3-micron HEPA standard and are too small for HEPA filters to capture. PECO technology was designed to destroy even tiny pollutants, including VOCs.

Under the microscope

Unlike HEPA technology, PECO can eliminate pollutants at a microscopic scale (including VOCs and viruses). With no ozone byproduct, Molekule air purifiers safely destroy a vast range of indoor air pollutants. As a science company, Molekule conducts extensive testing of its technology through its own labs as well as certified third-party laboratories.

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.

Pollutant mixture

Air reduced all pollutants tested*

Indoor air is a complex mixture of chemical compounds that varies from building to building. Even when challenged with a blend of organic pollutants, Molekule Air is working to purify the air.
