Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods for production of hydrogen peroxide, such as high-test peroxide, are disclosed. Representative systems and methods also include aerospace systems and space exploration missions implementing systems and methods for production of hydrogen peroxide. A representative system for making hydrogen peroxide can include: a water electrolyzer for receiving water and separating at least some of the water into hydrogen and oxygen; a proton-exchange membrane cell for receiving water, hydrogen from the water electrolyzer, and oxygen from the water electrolyzer and for combining the hydrogen, the oxygen, and the water into a first hydrogen peroxide solution having a first concentration of hydrogen peroxide in water; and a hydrogen peroxide concentrator for removing at least some of the water from the first hydrogen peroxide solution to yield a second hydrogen peroxide solution that has a second concentration of hydrogen peroxide in water that is greater than the first concentration.
