S. Sankarasubramanian, Bradley Chambers, Cheyenne Wilson
The sustained, long-term exploration of other heavenly bodies in the solar system necessitates the development of technological solutions that will free these missions from the constraints of resupply from Earth. Herein, we focus on electrochemical solutions for in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) that will enable “living off the land” on Mars with a particular focus on life-support and fuel production. The constraints imposed by the operational environment and available resources are examined and some existing (demonstrated) electrolysis solutions are discussed. Building on this, knowledge gaps are identified, and a roadmap is proposed for future research focus at the component and device level.

Anion-exchange-membrane electrolysis is positioned to play a key role in the predicted exponential growth of green hydrogen technology with essential R&D advances. We reveal key design parameters essential to commercialization. First, stable alkaline oxygen-evolution reaction catalysts with high electronic conductivity and minimal surface reconstruction during operation must be designed. Alkaline catalyst layers must also be applied to the membrane electrode assembly with scalable, industrially relevant techniques. Second, ionomer oxidation mitigation strategies must be developed. This approach could also target other creative catalyst layer design, such as phase-separation control to protect oxidation-prone organic components or catalyst engineering to direct selectivity for hydroxide over polymer oxidation. If competitive efficiency and durability can be achieved in pure water, AEM electrolysis has the potential to become a dominant electrolyzer technology.

R&D on electrochemical approaches for chemical manufacturing is experiencing a renaissance, the direct result of society’s desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of the chemical industry, aiming to be carbon neutral by 2050. Two such processes have been performed for decades at scale: the chlor-alkali process that produces chlorine from aqueous sodium chloride, and the production of adiponitrile, an intermediate in the production nylon-6,6. Water electrolysis for hydrogen production is also being deployed now at scale. This report summarizes some of the many efforts to electrify chemical conversions, often using renewable feeds like water, CO2, and biomass-derived adducts, or waste-streams from other processes. Beyond efforts to reduce emissions, a very active research community also pursues a broad range of electro-organic conversions, some of which have major advantages over conventional reaction chemistries. Overarching challenges of implementing electrochemical manufacturing approaches are also discussed (e.g., limited familiarity with electrochemical processes in chemical engineering practice, insufficient availability of electrical power, and the variability of various renewable feeds).

The title of this editorial is from the work of the great philosopher Alice Cooper who penned a song of the same name in 1972 (look it up, kids – it was on vinyl!). While for many it is spring that represents new life blooming, for those involved in higher education, spring simply mocks us. As the trees and flowers blossom, birds return from their migration to warmer latitudes, faculty and students are locked in an epic struggle to somehow cover all the material promised in one of the great works of fiction, the syllabus. The faculty hope that some amount of what they have helped students discover sticks through the summer and beyond. Those who teach introductory courses like yours truly live in dread of the future comment from a colleague that the students you taught the semester before say that they have “never heard of” some concept into which you poured your heart and soul to get across its importance, even beauty. Students are trying to figure out if it is possible to learn an entire semester of geology in the weekend before the final (spoiler alert—it is not).

Can you imagine a world where fertilizer production is thoroughly sustainable and recycled, thus enabling global food access that meets population growth? Where waste is considered a resource and has value; where buildings monitor air and water to keep us safe; where pathogen-destroying coatings are integrated into fabrics and clothing; where sensors are noninvasive, continuously monitoring our health while personalizing and advancing medicine and treatment; where plastics are upcycled; where the manufacture of chemicals and materials is decarbonized, distributed, circular, modular, with a small footprint and multiple processing steps integrated into a single unit that implements alternative energy sources… Can you imagine?
