The sky is the limit with regards to the societal impact nanomaterials canhave on our lives. However, in this study we show that their potential is outof this world. The planet Mars has an abundant source of calcium sulfateminerals and in our work, we show that these deposits can be the basis oftransformative nanomaterials to potentially support future space endeavors.Through a scalable eco-friendly liquid processing technique performed on twocommon terrestrial gypsum, our simple method presented a cost-efficientprocedure to yield the commercially valuable intermediate phase of gypsum,known as bassanite. Through the liquid exfoliation of bassanite powders,suspensions of large aspect ratio anhydrite nanobelts with long-term stabilitywere characterized through scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy.Transmission electron microscopy showed nanobelts to have a mesocrystalstructure, with distinct nanoparticle constituents making up the lattice.Unexpectedly, anhydrite nanobelts had remarkable electronic properties, namelya bandgap that was easily tuned between semiconducting (~2.2 eV) and insulating(~4 eV) behaviors through dimensional control measured via atomic forcemicroscopy. To demonstrate the application potential of our nanobelts;optoelectronic, electrochemical and nanocomposite measurements were made. Forthe hydrogen evolution reaction and mechanical reinforcement, selenite-basedanhydrite nanobelts displayed superlative performances.
