Outside Front Cover: Plasma Process. Polym. 1/2024

Abstract

Outside Front Cover: Plasma-activated CO₂ and CH₄ are expected to kinetically promote heterogeneous catalysis for efficient gas valorization via mostly vibrational excitation. Highlighting the importance of plasma-surface interaction, comparatively analyzing which type of plasma and catalysts is the most promising, by which the superiority of fluidized-bed dielectric barrier discharge reactor is confirmed. The fluidized bed with an enlarged catalyst surface and heat transfer augmentation enables better plasma-catalyst coupling and highly nonthermal properties. Fluidized-bed plasma catalysis reactor, powered by renewable energy, alternatively contributes to the electrification of chemical processes and thus reduces the net CO₂ emission.
