Abstract

Language:

Electrochemical energy conversion technologies play a crucial role in space missions, specifically in the Environmental Control and Life Support System on the International Space Station. This review aims to provide an overview of existing electrolytic energy conversion technologies for space applications, such as proton exchange membrane and alkaline electrolyzer systems. The governing interfacial processes in these devices, particularly influenced by reduced gravity, are discussed, alongside a future perspective on electrolysis systems for in-situ resource utilization technologies. Additionally, the article explores computational modeling to predict the effects of a reduced gravitational environment on electrochemical processes. Suggestions for experimental approaches to enhance the understanding of efficiency-impacting processes, including gas bubble formation and detachment in reduced gravitational settings, are outlined, emphasizing their significance for the sustainability of human life in space missions.
