Claim:
1. A reactor for producing a solid carbon material, comprising: at least one reaction chamber configured to produce a solid carbon material and water vapor through a reduction reaction between at least one carbon oxide and at least one gaseous reducing material in the presence of at least one catalyst material structure comprising a catalyst material and at least partially extending through the at least one reaction chamber; at least one cooling chamber operatively communicating with the at least one reaction chamber and configured to condense the water vapor produced in the at least one reaction chamber, wherein the at least one cooling chamber is configured to have an operating temperature of less than or equal to about 50° C.; at least one porous material structure configured to support at least one layer of the at least one catalyst material within the at least one reaction chamber and to separate at least one region of the at least one reaction chamber from at least one other region of the at least one reaction chamber; and at least one conveying mechanism configured to transport the at least one catalyst material structure through the at least one reaction chamber.
