About this award
The University of Arizona, performing as the Arizona Board of Regents, has been awarded a $57,000 research grant effective January 1, 2025, with completion targeted for December 31, 2026. The grant supports electrode development for molten regolith electrolysis reactors, specifically focusing on high entropy platinum-group alloys designed to achieve superior thermal stability and oxidation resistance. This research will be conducted at the university's Tucson, Arizona campus and is funded through a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center. The award carries no set-aside designation, reflecting the university's competitive positioning across general federal procurement opportunities.
This grant aligns with the University of Arizona's established portfolio of advanced materials research and technical innovation delivered to federal agencies. As a land-grant institution and Hispanic Serving Institution, the university has demonstrated substantial capacity in specialized scientific research across disciplines including materials science and engineering. The molten regolith electrolysis technology represents potential applications in space resource utilization and in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) initiatives, areas of growing interest within federal space exploration and advanced manufacturing programs. The project builds upon the institution's existing federal research relationships and its track record of delivering sophisticated technical development projects across multiple scientific domains.
