Summary

This paper describes the development of BH-1 lunar soil simulant and its use in creating high-strength geopolymer. The simulant's composition and structure closely match real lunar soil. The geopolymer's compressive strength was improved by 100.8% with added Al sources. The study includes XRF, XRD, SEM-EDS, and 27Al NMR analyses. The paper presents the preparation and characterization of a high-strength geopolymer based on BH-1 lunar soil simulant, with a focus on its rheological properties and mechanical performance. The study also includes analysis using XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDS, and 27Al MAS-NMR to understand the microstructure and chemical bonding of the geopolymer. The work contributes to the development of lunar infrastructure using local resources.
