Decomposition of alkanes at high pressures and temperatures

Abstract

The stability of methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), octane (C8H18), decane (C10H22), octadecane (C18H38), and nonadecane (C19H40) were studied in a CO2-laser heated diamond anvil cell at pressures up to 25 GPa and temperatures up to about 7300 K. Methane and ethane were found to decompose to form hydrogen and diamond. Substantially greater yields of diamond were obtained from the longer chain alkanes.
