Technical Abstract (Limit 2000 characters, approximately 200 words)

In this project, pH Matter will develop a highly integrated reversible fuel cell system.  The system will store energy in the form of hydrogen and oxygen.  The system will generate energy by operating as a fuel cell, converting hydrogen and oxygen to water and electricity.  The system will have minimal moving parts, and high round-trip efficiency.  Additionally, the technology could be useful for generating hydrogen and oxygen from available water (i.e. in situ resource utilization) or generating oxygen for life support.

Potential NASA Applications (Limit 1500 characters, approximately 150 words)

Lunar surface energy storage, mars surface energy storage, space mission energy storage, life support, and in situ resource utilization.

Potential Non-NASA Applications (Limit 1500 characters, approximately 150 words)

Long-term renewable energy storage and hydrogen generation.
