Plasma-driven catalysis: green ammonia synthesis with intermittent electricity

“…224,225 An afterglow normally describes the effluent of a plasma reactor. However, the term is sometimes used more broadly to indicate that ( plasma) species are no longer exposed to The listed plasma reactors are dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), 96,131,142,[143][144][145][146][147][148][149][150][151][152][153][154][155][156][157][158][159][160][161][162][163][164][165][166][167][168][169] (low pressure) glow discharge (GD), 170,171,[172][173][174][175][176][177][178][179]180 microwave plasma (MW), [181][182][183][184][185]…”

“…Various mechanisms are conceivable for plasma-driven ammonia synthesis, in the absence and in the presence of a catalyst. A distinction is made between plasma chemistry path-ways with N atoms generated in the plasma, either reacting in the plasma phase or over the catalytic surface, 154,191 and the catalytic dissociation of excited nitrogen molecules. 96,131 This distinction is made to assess the role of the catalyst.…”

Self-powered ammonia synthesis under ambient conditions via N2 discharge driven by Tesla turbine triboelectric nanogenerators

“…Ammonia is an important inorganic chemical product, and its classical Haber-Bosch synthetic process requires harsh conditions, such as high temperatures and high pressures, which have complex adverse effects on energy and the environment 1,2 . Since the triple bond of N 2 is extremely stable, various attempts and efforts have been made to break it under mild conditions, such as biological catalytic 3 , electrocatalytic [4][5][6][7][8] , photocatalytic 8,9 , and discharging methods [10][11][12][13] . However, the selection processes of specialized catalysts are still significant challenges [14][15][16] .…”

“…However, the selection processes of specialized catalysts are still significant challenges [14][15][16] . By contrast, the discharge method more easily breaks nitrogen-nitrogen bonds due to its simple device structure [10][11][12][13] . Since high voltage is an essential condition for this process, it is necessary to select an appropriate technology from the perspective of energy and environment.…”

N2–H2 capacitively coupled radio-frequency discharges at low pressure: II. Modeling results: the relevance of plasma-surface interaction

“…Surface processes were included subsequently by Gordiets et al [52,53], in order to explain the formation of ammonia, and in the study of the nitriding of iron substrates in this type of discharges [40]. The interaction of the radicals generated in the plasma with the surface of different materials has been analyzed in various works [47,49,54,58], with the aim of determining the relevance of the different surface processes. The present two-part work studies ccrf discharges, produced in a mixture of N2 with small amounts of H2 (up to 5%), combing both experimental and modelling techniques.…”
