What if we turn CO2 into fuel or explosives?

"Researchers in Japan developed a fast, efficient method to convert CO₂ into carbon monoxide using a low-cost catalyst, cutting processing time from 24 hours to just 15 minutes. Their spray-based technique not only meets industrial standards but also outperforms all previous similar catalysts, offering a major step forward in sustainable fuel production."(CoPc) crystals.

Turning CO2 into fuel is one of the most interesting things that can slow the greenhouse effect. The system must only separate carbon from oxygen. And then keep those atoms close enough that they can burn. The problem has been how to make that in real life. There is the possibility to make "explosive diamonds" by using some new technologies. 

There is the possibility. That the next-generation aerial vehicles use carbon as fuel. In those systems, carbon can be packed into the nano-size particles. Those particles can be smaller than the smoke. The engine conducts that nano-smoke into the combustion chamber.

Then the system injects pure oxygen into them. 

The system must only make the carbon crystal there are oxygen atoms between carbon atoms. That kind of thing can give a very high-power explosion. There is a test using carbon-oxygen chains to create new types of very effective explosives that can beat even the RDX. The problem is that the new explosives don't need even nitrogen to catalyze the reaction.

In those explosives, the reaction where carbon joins oxygen happens in so large area. Where the explosion is powerful. We can think possibility of making a molecule like graphene. But in that molecule, every carbon is connected with oxygen. 

If oxygen joins carbon at the same time over the entire layer. That gives a powerful explosion. The number of carbon and oxygen atoms that participate in chemical reactions at the same time determines the burning speed and power of the explosions. 

And that makes them slip through explosive detectors. 

Carbon-oxygen chains can also make it possible to create new types of rocket fuels. That rocket fuel fits into new nanotechnical aerial vehicles. Nanotechnology can make carbon-oxygen ladder molecules that the system drives to the combustion chamber. The system can keep that explosive in roll there the engine feeds it into the engine chamber.
