Abstract Plasma catalysis is gaining increasing interest for various gas conversion applications, such as CO 2 into value-added chemicals and fuels, CH 4 activation hydrogen, higher hydrocarbons or oxygenates, NH 3 synthesis. Other applications are already more established, air pollution control, e.g. volatile organic compound remediation, particulate matter NO x removal. In addition, plasma also very promising catalyst synthesis treatment. clearly has benefits over ‘conventional’ catalysis,...
A coaxial double dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor is developed for plasma-catalytic conversion of CH 4 and CO 2 into syngas other valuable products. supported metal catalyst (Ni/Al O 3 ) reduced in a methane fully packed the region. The influence Ni/Al gas gap on electrical characteristics investigated. introduction pellets leads to transition behaviour from typical filamentary microdischarge combination spatially limited microdischarges predominant surface surface.

A cylindrical dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor has been developed for the conversion of undiluted CO2 into CO and O2 at atmospheric pressure low temperatures. Both physical chemical effects on reaction performance have investigated addition BaTiO3 glass beads gap. The presence these packing materials in DBD changes characteristics leads to a shift mode from typical filamentary with no combination surface packing. Highest energy efficiency are achieved when fully packed It is found...
Abstract The conversion of CO 2 with CH 4 into liquid fuels and chemicals in a single‐step catalytic process that bypasses the production syngas remains challenge. In this study, (e.g., acetic acid, methanol, ethanol, formaldehyde) were synthesized one‐step from at room temperature (30 °C) atmospheric pressure for first time by using novel plasma reactor water electrode. total selectivity to oxygenates was approximately 50–60 %, acid being major component 40.2 % selectivity, highest value...
A better fundamental understanding of the plasma-catalyst interaction and reaction mechanism is vital for optimizing design catalysts ammonia synthesis by plasma-catalysis. In this work, we report on a hybrid plasma-enhanced catalytic process directly from N2 H2 over transition metal (M/Al2O3, M = Fe, Ni, Cu) at near room temperature (∼35 °C) atmospheric pressure. Reactions were conducted in specially designed coaxial dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma reactor using water as ground...
CO2 hydrogenation to methanol is a promising process for conversion and utilization. Despite well-developed route CO methanol, the use of as feedstock synthesis remains underexplored, one its major challenges high reaction pressure (usually 30–300 atm). In this work, atmospheric room temperature (∼30 °C) from H2 has been successfully achieved using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) with without catalyst. The production was strongly dependent on plasma reactor setup; DBD special...

We present a computational study for the conversion of CH4 and CO2 into value-added chemicals, i.e., so-called "dry reforming methane", in dielectric barrier discharge reactor. A zero-dimensional chemical kinetics model is applied to plasma chemistry 1:1 CH4/CO2 mixture. The calculations are first performed one microdischarge pulse its afterglow, detail pathways conversion. Subsequently, long time-scale simulations carried out, corresponding real residence times plasma, assuming large number...
Plasma-catalytic biogas reforming over Ni-X/Al2O3 catalyst (X = K, Mg and Ce) has been carried out in a coaxial dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma reactor at 160 °C. Three different process modes: plasma-alone, catalysis-alone plasma-catalysis have investigated to get new insights into the synergistic effect resulted from interaction of with promoted Ni catalysts. Compared using either plasma-alone or mode same temperature (160 °C), combination Ni-based catalysts exhibited low effect,...

Abstract Evaporating seawater and separating salt from water is one of the most promising solutions for global scarcity. State‐of‐the‐art desalination devices combining solar harvesting heat localization evaporation using nanomaterials still suffer several issues in energy efficiency, long‐term performance, fouling, light blocking, clean collection real‐world applications. To address these issues, this work devises plasma‐enabled multifunctional all‐carbon nanoarchitectures with on‐surface...
Engineering non-precious transition metal (TM)-based electrocatalysts to simultaneously achieve an optimal intrinsic activity, high density of active sites, and rapid mass transfer ability for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains a significant challenge.

Abstract Graphite‐derived carbon materials have been widely used in metal‐ion batteries due to their good mechanical and electrical properties, cost effectiveness, light weight, environmental friendliness. Though natural graphite has commercially lithium‐ion batteries, the small interlayer spacing hinders its application other batteries. As such, numerous works done enhance storage capability of derivatives. In this review, structural engineering on including expanded graphite, intercalation...
