Title of Contract, Award, or Gift: Carbon Dioxide Electrolysis via Electrochemical Reactions in Polymerized Ionic Liquid (POIL) Membranes for Oxygen Resource Recovery
Name of Granting or Contracting Agency/Entity:
NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMIN
CFDA: 43.008
Program Title: Education
Note:
The main goal of the proposed work is to develop an advanced membrane/catalyst system for the recovery of oxygen from carbon dioxide at low to mild temperatures. The aim of this proposal is to develop Polymerized Ionic Liquids (POIL's) membranes for the performance and optimization of POIL Membrane Electrode Assemblies (POIL-MEA's) for Oxygen recovery from CO2 electrolysis and study its performance under microgravity conditions. This proposal is aligned to the NASA SBIR 2022 Phase I Solicitation: H3.08 Challenges in Carbon Dioxide Removal and Reduction: Carbon Particulate and Thermal Management. The expected TRL level of the Project will be 2 and the Primary Technology Taxonomy will be: Level 1: TX 06 Human Health, Life Support, and Habitation Systems and Level 2: TX 06.1 Environmental Control & Life Support Systems (ECLSS) and Habitation Systems. The costumer of this technology will be the Life Support Systems (LSS) Project, under the Advanced Exploration Systems (AES) Program, within the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate (HEOMD).
