Influence of dielectric barrier materials to the behavior of dielectric barrier discharge plasma for CO2 decomposition

CO2dissociation using the Versatile atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge experiment (VADER)

“…These results imply that dissociation is more efficient at higher frequencies when the applied voltage is high and the breakdown voltage is low and vice versa for lower frequencies. A similar effect was reported by Paulussen et al [59] and Li et al [66].…”

“…Many groups have done tests using various structures, foams, etc. for incorporating different catalysts into their experiments [66,[68][69][70][71]. Similar experiments using TiO 2 should also be attempted.…”

Alkane Activation at Ambient Temperatures: Unusual Selectivities, CC, CH Bond Scission versus CC Bond Coupling

“…The microdischarges are distributed in the space between the two electrodes and their number depends on 1) the voltage applied on the electrodes 2) the distance between the electrodes 3) the relative permittivity of the dielectric barriers (Pyrex) and 4) the processing gas. [30] In the presence of plasma C 3 H 8 molecules can be directly activated/converted via collisions with energized electrons. Activation produces radicals such as C 3 H 7 C due to cleavage of CÀH bonds (C 3 H 8 + e À !C 3 H 7 C + HC + e À ).…”

Decomposition of greenhouse gases by plasma

“…Plasma-assisted method, such as RF plasma (Savinov et al 1999), corona (Wen and Jiang 2001;Maezono and Chang 1990), dielectric barrier discharge (Li et al 2004), glow discharge (Wang et al 1999;Buser and Sullovan 1970), and thermal plasma (Kobayashi et al 2002), have also been developed. Currently, Indarto et al (2006g, 2007cIndarto 2007) tried to convert CO 2 into CO and O 2 .…”
