Comment/Description

In 2022, a Nature Communications paper presented a new electrolyzer design using capillary forces. The authors published a 95% efficiency for their device in water splitting electrolysis, a record number. The main advantage of this device is the bubble free approach and feeding the cell in a controlled way by a capillary. With phase separation remaining an issue in microgravity experiments in combination with the capillary forces still working in space environment, this project surrounds the possibilities of applying the idea behind a capillary fed electrolyzer for space applications. The project will contain of a literature report and an oral presentation of the findings.
