Plasma contains free charged particles including electrons, which are light and easily accelerated to very high energies with electric fields. "When bulletlike electrons collide with a carbon dioxide molecule, they can directly decompose it or transfer energy to make it vibrate," Guerra said."This energy can be channeled, to a large extent, into carbon dioxide decomposition."

The researchers hope that the technique could deliver high rates of oxygen production with relatively light-weight instrumentation, always a factor when launching from"Together with our colleagues in France and the Netherlands, we experimentally demonstrated the validity of these theories," Guerra said."Moreover, the heat generated in the plasma is also beneficial for the separation of oxygen.
