Dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) are widely used in applications such as ozone generation and volatile organic compound treatment, where performance can be enhanced through catalyst integration. A fundamental understanding of reactive species...
Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is a technique used to create oxide-ceramic coatings on lightweight metals, such as aluminium, magnesium, and titanium. PEO is known for producing coatings with high corrosion resistance and strong adhesion to...
A twin surface dielectric barrier discharge was used with a two-component coating to oxidize 300 ppm n-butane to CO2 and H2O in synthetic air at room temperature and at 160 ℃. The integration of BaTiO3 as a base material allowed the successful...
Plasma-generated H2O2 can be used to fuel biocatalytic reactions that require H2O2 as co-substrate such as the conversion of ethylbenzene to (R)-1-phenylethanol ((R)-1-PhOl) catalyzed by unspecific peroxygenase from Agrocybe aegerita (rAaeUPO)....
Plasma-driven biocatalysis utilizes in situ H2O2 production by atmospheric pressure plasmas to drive H2O2-dependent enzymatic reactions. Having previously established plasma-driven biocatalysis using recombinant unspecific peroxygenase from...
Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasmas have an antiseptic activity beneficial in different medical applications. In a genome-wide screening, hydrogen peroxide and superoxide were identified as key species contributing to the antibacterial...
Hydrogen is often envisioned as a green fuel and energy carrier. However, a greenhouse gas-free production method is still needed for this purpose. A promising method is the pyrolysis of methane. Here, we present the 3-dimensional simulation of...
Pyrolysis of methane is a promising, new, greenhouse gas-free production method of hydrogen. Here, we present optical emission spectra of a microwave plasma torch operated in an argon methane mixture. Detailed spatial resolution is achieved by...
The transportation of plasma-generated species through a liquid environment is a key step within the plasma-driven biocatalysis process, but is also of great importance for other systems with plasma-liquid interfaces. The aim of this study is to...
High-frequency technological low-temperature plasmas play a key role in various industrial processes of high societal relevance such as semiconductor manufacturing and gas conversion. Due to their complexity, the fundamentals of their operation...
