Spectral-Kinetic Synergy in Au-Network Engineered FeTiO<sub>3</sub>: A Multi-Field Coupling Strategy for Lunar In Situ Resource Utilization. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)How can humanity achieve lunar self‐sufficiency? We utilize Au topology networks to modify the abundant lunar ilmenite. This catalyst, under sunlight, can convert waste carbon dioxide into space fuel. This design leverages the moon's natural vacuum for green manufacturing, avoiding the waste of gold and serving as “artificial chloroplasts” to sustain ...
