Abstract
A method of producing carbon-oxygen structures by the Decomposition of Carbon Dioxide Gas at low pressure, from 14.7 to 100 psi, using laser irradiation in the mid-infrared spectrum, from 2.3 to 3.3 microns.
Claims11
A method of decomposing carbon dioxide gas comprising:
- evacuating air from a reaction container;
- combining carbon dioxide gas and water vapor gas molecules in said reaction container;
- pressuring said reaction container holding said carbon dioxide with a pressure of from 14.7 to 100 psi;
- directing a mid-infrared laser beam having a wavelength of 2.3 to 3.3 microns into said reaction container to photo-dissociate the carbon dioxide gas into carbon, oxygen and carbon-oxygen activated species;
- and recombining the activated species to form solid carbon-oxygen structures, said solid carbon-oxygen structures having the composition CmOn where m n;
- whereby carbon dioxide gas is decomposed.

A method of decomposing carbon dioxide gas comprising:
- combining carbon dioxide gas and water vapor gas molecules under pressure of between 14.7 to 100 psi in a reaction container having the air evacuated therefrom;
- directing a laser beam having a wavelength of 2.3 to 3.3 microns into said reaction container to photo-dissociate the carbon dioxide gas into carbon, and oxygen;
- and capturing heat released by said reaction;
- whereby carbon dioxide gas is decomposed to form solid carbon-oxygen structures, said solid carbon-oxygen structures having the composition CmOn where m≥n.
