Abstract

The extraction and utilization of water in space are of high technological importance and scientific interest for deep space exploration. The presence of massive H-related species in lunar soil has been confirmed, and these species can potentially be converted into water with appropriate treatments. In this work, an in situ photothermal lunar water extraction and utilization technology was proposed. The extracted lunar water enabled the conversion of CO₂ into O₂, H₂, and CO with photothermal catalytic technology. Such a finding has great potential to be integrated into the extraterrestrial photosynthesis pathway to convert CO₂ and water vapor into essential chemicals and oxygen.

月球固有的水使CO2光热催化

在太空中提取和利用水对深空探测具有很高的技术重要性和科学意义。月球土壤中存在大量与氢有关的物种，这些物种可以通过适当的处理转化为水。本文提出了一种原位光热月球水提取利用技术。利用光热催化技术，提取的月球水可以将CO2转化为O2、H2和CO。这一发现极有可能被整合到地外光合作用途径中，将二氧化碳和水蒸气转化为必需的化学物质和氧气。
