Far from the finding<p>> It has been suggested that under harsh and constant bombardment by energetic plasma, radiation, and micrometeoroids, the formation of defects and dangling bonds on dust grain surfaces allow for hydroxylation to take place (Farrell et al., 2017; Fink et al., 1995). The implications for understanding the hydrogen cycle on the Moon, especially regarding in situ resource utilization, are significant. Further studies investigating the role of dust size, mineralogy, and age are important in this regard.
