Outside Front Cover: Plasma Process. Polym. 2/2024

Abstract

Outside Front Cover: Plasma catalysis is a crucial and promising approach in greenhouse gas conversion. We investigate the synergistic interaction between plasma and Co-based catalysts in the CO₂ hydrogenation to CH₃OH system. The research reveals that plasma treatment increases the concentration of surface oxygen vacancies in the H₂/Ar-CoO catalyst, facilitating the adsorption and transformation of oxygen-containing groups. Moreover, the addition of H₂O also cooperates with the catalyst to achieve the maximum CH₃OH yield.
