A Direct Current (DC) nanosecond (ns)-pulsed plasma jet fed with N2 at near atmospheric pressure (20 000 Pa) is studied using a transient zero-dimensional (0-D) model coupled with a two-term Boltzmann equation solver. Good agreement is observed...
The abatement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial exhaust gases is critical for environmental compliance. Surface dielectric barrier discharge (SDBD) reactors enable plasma- driven oxidation of hydrocarbons such as n-butane under...
While the ozonolysis of tetramethylethylene (TME) has been investigated in detail, studies combining plasma-generated ozone with TME are scarce. Here, we present a feasibility study using a twin-surface dielectric barrier discharge (twin-SDBD)...
We investigate a micro cavity plasma array (MCPA) reactor operated at atmospheric pressure, offering excellent diagnostic accessibility and flexible opportunities for catalyst integration. Here, the dissociation of CO2 diluted in helium into CO...
Numerous studies have shown that dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) and DBD-like plasma jets interact with a treated surface in a complex manner. Eroded traces after treatment cannot be explained by conventional plasma-surface interaction theory....
The in-plasma-catalytic synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen admixed to a helium RF plasma is studied with infrared absorption spectroscopy, optical emission spectroscopy, and through chemical kinetics modeling. Sandblasted glass is...
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...
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...
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...
A low-pressure double-inductively coupled plasma device is used to study the fundamental plasma parameters, plasma chemistry, and UV photon emission from the first excited state of nitric oxide, NO(A), in gas mixtures of nitrogen and oxygen. In...
