Extraction of oxygen from Martian atmosphere and compression of lunar oxygen can utilize stabilized zirconia electrochemical pumps. Silver membranes can be used as electrodes to increase oxygen yield at relatively low temperatures. This study has investigated oxygen permeation through Ag 0.05Zr membranes with glow-discharge assisted disassociation. Data show that the overall process is controlled by bulk diffusion but the slow dissociative adsorption onto the surface limited the overall transport substantially. With glow-discharge assisted dissociation, an order of magnitude increase in oxygen throughput can be produced at relatively low temperatures (450-550C).
