Perchlorate formation on Mars through surface radiolysis‐initiated atmospheric chemistry: A potential mechanism

Explore this paper's citation graph

Summary

A potential mechanism for the production of Martian perchlorate is proposed: the radiolysis of the Martian surface by galactic cosmic rays, followed by the sublimation of chlorine oxides into the atmosphere and their subsequent synthesis to form perchloric acid (HClO4) in the atmosphere.
