Abstract
The electric field in pulsed bipolar plasma catalysis was characterized using the temperature functions and electric parameters of reactants (toluene and heptane), products, catalysts (La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/mullite), and dielectric barriers. An equivalent electrical circuit was established to demonstrate the behavior of plasma current phases. The optical emission spectra of discharge and Lissajous figures at various temperatures were used to identify dielectric barrier and surface discharges. The applied voltage composition was divided into three discharge phases, namely rapid pulse, reduced pulse and stretched release phases. Their coefficients were estimated to determine the phases’ roles in plasma catalysis. The formulas for applied voltage and discharge current in plasma catalysis were established in accordance with the concepts of the three phases. The electric field in the plasma catalysis was characterized using an established theoretical formula, various measurement techniques, and feasible approaches for estimating various electric field parameter values at different plasma catalytic temperatures were proposed.
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
