## Abstract

A process provides an unlimited source of ethanol based, liquid disinfectant for application directly to human hands or to hand wipes, by combining a carbon nanospike catalyst with a copper catalyst, carbon dioxide, water and water vapor in an electrochemical process initiated by a power source. Further, an improved process provides for making the carbon nanospike, through injection with photons and electromagnetic waves.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A process for providing unlimited source of ethanol based, liquid disinfectant for use directly onto human hands or onto hand wipes, comprising:
placing a carbon nanospike catalyst which is doped with nitrogen and a copper catalyst in a vessel;
providing a source into the vessel for carbon dioxide, water and water vapor;
providing a means for an electrochemical process to create ethanol which is initiated by a means for a power source in the vessel; and,
wherein the ethanol can be turned into a supply of liquid hand sanitizer.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The process of claim 1, wherein the ethanol can be turned into a liquid to coat hand wipes.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The process of claim 1, wherein the process can occur in a portable vessel.

### Claim 4

A process for providing unlimited source of ethanol based, liquid disinfectant for use directly onto human hands or onto hand wipes, comprising:
placing a carbon nanospike catalyst which is doped with nitrogen and a copper catalyst in a vessel;
providing a source into the vessel for carbon dioxide, water and water vapor;
injecting photons and electromagnetic waves into the vessel;
providing a means for an electrochemical process to create ethanol which is initiated by a means for a power source in the vessel; and,
wherein the ethanol can be turned into a supply of liquid hand sanitizer.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The process of claim 4, wherein the ethanol can be turned into a liquid to coat hand wipes.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The process of claim 4, wherein the process can occur in a portable vessel.

### Claim 7

A process for providing unlimited duration energy storage of ammonia gas, liquid or mixed phase of gas and liquid, comprising:
placing a carbon nanospike catalyst which is doped with nitrogen, metals and actinides in a vessel;
providing a source for nitrogen, water and water vapor into the vessel;
providing a means for an electrochemical process to create ammonia which is initiated by a means for a power source in the vessel; and,
wherein the ammonia can be turned into an energy storage for the storage of electrons in ammonia (NH3) bonds as well as a reverse reaction to release electrons, fertilizer or fuel.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The process of claim 7, wherein the ammonia can be turned into urea by addition of carbon dioxide.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

### Claim 10

A process for providing unlimited duration energy storage, of ammonia gas, liquid or mixed phase of gas and liquid, comprising:
placing a carbon nanospike catalyst which is doped with nitrogen, titanium, uranium and alloys catalyst in a vessel;
providing a source into the vessel for nitrogen, water and water vapor;
injecting photons and electromagnetic waves into the vessel;
providing a means for a single-step photoelectrochemical process to create ammonia which is initiated by means of a power source in the vessel; and,
wherein the ammonia can be turned into a supply of energy storage for the storage of electrons in NH3 bonds as well as a reverse reaction to release electrons, fertilizer or fuel.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The process of claim 10, wherein the ammonia can be turned into urea by addition of carbon dioxide.
