Decomposition of carbon dioxide by recombining hydrogen plasma with ultralow electron temperature
We examined the rate coefficient for the decomposition of CO 2 in low-pressure recombining hydrogen
plasmas with electron temperatures between 0.15 and 0.45 eV, where the electron-impact dissociation
was negligible. By using this ultralow-temperature plasma, we clearly observed decomposition
processes via vibrational excited states. The rate coefficient of the overall reaction, CO 2 + e →
products, was 1.5 × 10 −17 m 3 /s in the ultralow-temperature plasma, which was 10 times larger than
the decomposition rate coefficient of 2 × 10 −18 m 3 /s in an ionizing plasma with an electron
temperature of 4 eV.
