Synthesis of ammonium and organic compounds from N2,H2O vapor, and CO2 gas mixtures by synchrotron radiation induced photochemical reactions at atmospheric pressure and at room temperature

Abstract

Several compound materials were synthesized from N2,H2O vapor, and CO2 gas mixtures using synchrotron radiation induced photochemical reactions at atmospheric pressure and at room temperature. Ammonium and nitrogen oxides were successfully synthesized from N2,H2O vapor, and O2 gas mixtures. It was also found that organic compounds such as carboxyl acids and amino acids were formed from a N2,H2O vapor, and CO2 gas mixture.
