Direct production of molecular oxygen from carbon dioxide and helium ion collisions
Abstract The prebiotic mechanism to produce molecular oxygen (O2) in carbon dioxide (CO2)-rich planetary atmospheres is of great importance in understanding astrochemical reactions and is potentially relevant to the origin of life on Earth. Here, we demonstrate that, aside from the direct production...
