Astronauts living on Red Planet could extract O2 from water with new device:Scientists have developed a technology which allows them to withdraw oxygen from extremely salty waters, paving the way for a smoother transaction for humans living on Mars.
The small device is an electrolyzer but allows the system to function without the need for heating or purifying the water source.
"Having demonstrated these electrolyzers under demanding Martian conditions, we intend to also deploy them under much milder conditions on Earth to utilise brackish or salt water feeds to produce hydrogen and oxygen, for example through seawater electrolysis".
