<p style="text-align:justify">Scientists are now exploring the possibility of decomposing water to produce oxygen through electrochemical water oxidation driven by solar power with the help of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts. The challenge is to find a way to synthesize these catalysts in situ using materials on Mars, instead of transporting them from the Earth, which is of high cost. A team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences,&nbsp;recently made it possible to synthesize&nbsp;and optimize&nbsp;OER catalysts automatically&nbsp;from Martian meteorites&nbsp;with their robotic artificial intelligence (AI)-chemist.</p>
