Synthesis of prebiotic organics from CO2 by catalysis with meteoritic and volcanic particles

Abstract The emergence of prebiotic organics was a mandatory step toward the origin of life. The significance of the exogenous delivery versus the in-situ synthesis from atmospheric gases is still under debate. We experimentally demonstrate that iron-rich meteoritic and volcanic particles activate a...
