Plasma-based CO₂ Conversion for Mars ISRU

Plasma-based CO₂ conversion is a promising power-to-gas chemical synthesis process for Mars In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU). The abundant CO₂ in the Martian atmosphere can be converted into breathable oxygen and fuel for astronauts, enabling safer and more independent Mars missions while reducin...
