You have invented electrolysis.
- varjag 6y agoThis appears to be high temperature catalytic process that was developed. Not just a matter of plugging anode and cathode into regolith.
- fuoqi 6y agoThe article directly describes the electrolysis process: >Oxygen-containing material is submerged in molten salt, heated to 950 degrees Celsius. A current is then passed through it, which triggers the oxygen to be extracted and migrate across the liquid salt to collect at an electrode, leaving behind a mixture of metal powders. And does not contain any mention of a magic catalyst.
- beervirus 6y agoNo, this is not a catalytic process. It is just electrolysis.
- progman32 6y agoTo be fair, someone else invented electrolysis, they engineered it to work with regolith.
