Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma is a potential tool in the field of in situ CO2 conversion with the low‐pressure environment of Mars. CO is an important intermediate product in the conversion process of CO2. Understanding the pathways and dynamics that govern the generation of CO in CO2 plasmas establishes the foundation for effective regulation. In this work, parallel‐plate DBD structure was employed in our experiment and one‐dimensional fluid simulation model. The findings indicate that CO primarily originates at the boundary of the cathode potential fall region, and it subsequently migrates toward the surface of instantaneous cathode where it accumulates. The thickness of CO‐enriched region is approximately 0.8 mm. During this process, CO migration speed reaches about 2000 m/s. It is worth noting that surface reactions at the instantaneous cathode and anode surfaces contribute only 0.24% to CO generation, in contrast to the predominant influence of impact dissociation reaction between CO2 and electrons (e + CO2 → 2e + CO + O+) at 53.21%, and two‐body decomposition reaction between O+ and CO2 (O+ + CO2 → O +2 + CO) at 35.88%. Finally, the primary factors influencing the migration of CO from production sites to enrichment regions are determined to be particle collisions and momentum exchange between ions and CO, followed by electro‐hydro dynamics force, while dielectrophoresis forces have minimal effect.
介质阻挡放电(DBD)等离子体是在火星低压环境下进行二氧化碳就地转化的一种潜在工具。二氧化碳是二氧化碳转化过程中的重要中间产物。了解二氧化碳等离子体中产生二氧化碳的途径和动态,为有效调节奠定了基础。在这项工作中,我们在实验和一维流体模拟模型中采用了平行板 DBD 结构。研究结果表明,CO 主要起源于阴极电位下降区的边界,随后向瞬时阴极表面迁移,并在该处聚集。CO 富集区的厚度约为 0.8 毫米。在此过程中,CO 的迁移速度约为 2000 米/秒。值得注意的是,瞬时阴极和阳极表面的表面反应对 CO 生成的贡献率仅为 0.24%,相比之下,CO2 与电子之间的撞击解离反应(e + CO2 → 2e + CO + O+)和 O+ 与 CO2 之间的双体分解反应(O+ + CO2 → O +2 + CO)对 CO 生成的贡献率分别为 53.21%和 35.88%。最后,确定影响 CO 从产地向富集区迁移的主要因素是粒子碰撞和离子与 CO 之间的动量交换,其次是电-水动力学力,而介电泳力的影响微乎其微。

Plasma–liquid systems are best recognised in biomedicine, where the generation of plasma‐treated water and complex organic‐containing solutions affords biological effects. However, plasma interactions with liquids are more diverse. In this review, we look from the chemical point of view at the three fields of plasma–liquid interaction in which plasma is used to convert organic substrates. In wastewater treatment, plasma decomposes organic substances: the selectivity towards specific products is less crucial than process energy costs. In the conversion of organic liquids for sustainable energy purposes, the carbon and hydrogen selectivity to syngas are important, but these are still destructive reactions yielding small molecules. Finally, we provide a comprehensive plasma application list for synthetic organic chemistry and discuss their mechanisms and limitations.

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 means of Abel inversion. The emission spectra are dominated by dicarbon Swan bands and black body radiation from carbon nanoparticles. Both spectral features are utilized to estimate the gas temperature. In the center of the plasma, gas temperatures of up to 4300 K are reached with large gradients (500 Kmm‐1) in the radial direction. The thermal equilibrium chemistry and the kinetics of methane pyrolysis are analyzed to explain the observed coupling between the local gas temperature and the local emission.

Plasma‐activated mist (PAM) has seen increasingly widespread applications in areas such as surface disinfection and fog cultivation. The high‐resolution time diagnostics of ns pulse plasma interacting with micron‐sized droplets under high‐humidity conditions is challenging to achieve with existing experimental methods. This paper employs a global model to study the interaction between plasma and droplets, offering a detailed analysis of the plasma's transition from the gas phase to the liquid phase. It was discovered that in high‐humidity environments, hydrated ions become the predominant ion species. These acidic active substances in PAM droplets are the primary factors in the mist's ability to kill bacteria. The paper further examines how variations in droplet size and discharge voltage influence the PAM's activity.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8‐Octamethylcyclotetrasilazane (OTMSD), a cyclic silazane precursor, is deposited via atmospheric pressure plasma onto a substrate. The resulting coating exhibits a dual surface roughness, contributing to a significant reduction of surface wettability. Notably, the coating exhibits superhydrophobic characteristics, proven by a water contact angle of approximately 170°, hysteresis angle below 10°, very low tilting angle (<10°), and droplet‐bouncing effect. Importantly, this superhydrophobicity is achieved using OTMSD as fluorine‐free precursor with low reactivity to water. Furthermore, the deposition process is carried out using a commercially available plasma device highlighting its practicality and scalability for large‐scale production.

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) therapy has been proven to effectively inhibit the growth of subcutaneous tumors. However, there is no research to explain how plasma‐induced anticancer effects can be transmitted to cancer cells through normal cells. Here, we monitored the effects of plasma‐irradiated HaCaT cells on nonirradiated A375 and HaCaT cells in terms of cell viability and intracellular reactive oxygen species levels in vitro. The experimental results indicated that plasma irradiation may induce plasma‐irradiated HaCaT cells to release soluble factors into the cell culture medium, thereby selectively killing nonirradiated A375 cells. The plasma‐generated short‐lived species play a crucial role in the release of soluble factors. Our research showed that plasma‐induced anticancer effects can be transmitted to deep nonirradiated cancer cells through plasma‐irradiated normal cells.

Polymer film capacitors experience a sharp decrease in charge–discharge efficiency and energy density under high‐temperature environments, which remains an urgent issue to address. In this article, atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) is used to deposit TiO2 to improve the energy storage performance of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film in high‐temperature environment. The APPJ uses argon as the working gas and adopts a multielectrode grounding configuration to obtain the stable jet state. The precursor solution is prepared using tetraethyl titanate (TET) mixed with ethanol in a ratio of 5:3. The results show that the charge–discharge efficiency and discharge energy density (from 3.1 to 5.7 J cm–3) of BOPP films deposited by APPJ are improved at 120°C.
