Hochenergetische Photonen treiben die Umwandlung von Treibhausgasen in hochwertige Chemikalien voran, ohne dass ein Katalysator erforderlich ist

„A team of researchers from China discovered that high-energy photons with a wavelength of 185 nm generated by a specialized 28-W ultraviolet light source could directly break the strong chemical bonds in methane and carbon dioxide. This allowed them to transform the gases into chemicals such as water-gas (CO/H2) and ethane (C2H6) under ambient conditions and even in oxygen-free outer-space-like conditions.“
