The development of a nonconventional nitrogen fertilizer, which can be fixed in agricultural fields using decentralized renewable energy sources, presents a feasible solution for sustainable on‐site nitrogen fixation and fertilization. This study focuses on plasma‐generated dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) as a prospective mediator for the on‐site nitrogen fertilization, allowing nitrogen fertilization directly into culture media. Basal dinitrogen pentoxide fertilization demonstrated almost 100% dinitrogen pentoxide dissolution efficiency as nitrate in a culture medium and nitrogen fertilization effect on plant growth without explicit symptoms of damage. Top‐dressing of dinitrogen pentoxide was also an efficient method for transferring nitrogen into the soil as nitrate, which improved plant growth and suppressed nitrogen deficiency symptoms, while overdose caused adverse effects.

The present work investigates the etching of coated polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) films using an atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge operating in nitrogen in a filamentary regime. For different treatment durations, the optical emission spectra were recorded over time. Most of the emissions are attributed to the N2 second positive system. The presence of CN is also observed, and its emissions rise with the exposure time of PTFE. This rise is attributed to the density of CN produced. The X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy surface characterization suggests two etching regimes. This is linked with a change in slope in the intensity evolution of the optical emissions of the CN. At longer times, a fluorinated deposit on the electrode is observed, confirming a different nature of the etched material.

This work focuses on the antimycotic effects of the plasma gun as a potential tool for the treatment of superficial infections. Candida glabrata was chosen as a model microorganism. The preliminary tests have been done on the agar plates to establish the basic plasma parameters. To render this research more appropriate to the real application, more complex inoculation substrates, pork skin and 3D‐printed models of the dog ear canal have been used. The results of this work confirm the high efficiency of cold plasma in the inhibition of yeasts on different surfaces and will lead to further experiments.

Plasma jet printing, which does not require preprocessing and postprocessing, is a promising technology for manufacturing flexible electronics. The conductive properties should be confirmed to ensure the performance of the flexible electronics. In this study, the conductive properties and control mechanism of plasma jet‐printed silver patterns were investigated. Analyses show that high‐energy particles in the plasma decomposed organic solvents and induced the interconnection between silver nanoparticles. The plasma jet‐printed silver patterns had high uniformity in vertical spatial distribution. The dense packing of the silver patterns was achieved by increasing the number of printed layers, reducing the print speed, and increasing the focusing ratio. Oxidation of the silver nanoparticles was reduced and the conductivity was improved by increasing the focusing ratio.

This study analyzes the selective productions of nitrogen oxides and ozone in dielectric barrier discharge due to temperature controlled by the dual duty cycle. In this work, we varied the dual duty cycle of the output voltage in the power supply, which alternatively generates distinguished high and low‐temperature modes for selective productions of nitrogen oxides and ozone. The alternating nitric oxide and ozone by dual duty cycle were measured at a maximum of 100 ppm and 100 ppm in the gas phase, respectively. In the evaluation of DI water treated by dual duty cycle, nitrogen oxides, and ozone have been observed simultaneously in the liquid phase. These results offer new insights into the selective production of temperature‐dependent chemical characteristics for advanced plasma applications.

In this article, a compact and portable microwave atmospheric pressure plasma jet (MW‐APPJ) generator based on a coaxial transmission line resonator (CTLR) was proposed. Based on the electromagnetic simulations, the jet generator was designed as a tapered inner conductor structure that ensures plasma generation at low power. A self‐igniting argon (Ar) plasma jet of 10 mm length was generated at an input power of ~20 W and maintained at 2 W. Thanks to the high efficiency of the CTLR structure, plasmas of mixed reactive gases were also realized. Intrinsic plasma parameters and active species were determined using optical emission spectroscopy. Furthermore, the MW‐APPJ device was used to modify the polytetrafluoroethylene surface, and improvement of hydrophilicity was achieved without thermal damage.

The vacuum‐ultraviolet‐photoionization chamber was constructed to allow controlled ion generation and well‐defined surface treatment with these ions at atmospheric pressure. It utilizes atmospheric helium plasma as a photon source and separates the ion generation from the plasma by an aerodynamic window. The ions are guided to the grounded substrate by a weak electric field, while the diffusive transport of neutrals is reduced by a helium gas flow along the substrate. Ionic species and the absolute ion flux were determined in the substrate region. Ion‐based thin film deposition using a precursor was investigated as a model process. The proposed system enables future investigation of e.g. the isolated interaction of ions with biological substrates.

Nonthermal plasma (NTP) enhanced catalytic oxidation of diesel particulate matter (DPM) is promising for applications. The synergistic effects of transition metal oxides (MOx, M = Mn, Cu, Ce, Fe, Co, Ti) and dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma on DPM oxidation were investigated, and Fe2O3 showed the best synergistic effect. Cobalt‐doped iron oxide (Co–FeOx) displaying a spinel structure showed the best performance among M–FeOx (M = Co, Ce, Cu, Zn, Mn). The main intermediate product generated during the catalytic oxidation of DPM is monodentate carbonate. Under DBD plasma, a strong oxidizing intermediate ferrate (FeO42−) mainly produced at 100–200°C can promote the low‐temperature oxidation of DPM.
