Abstract

Electrochemical systems are considered key technologies for integrating directly with renewable energy sources. However, the development and industrial adoption of certain electrochemical systems are hindered by low efficiencies and current densities, particularly for the activation of inert chemical bonds. Plasma-electrochemical systems have emerged as a transformative approach to overcoming these challenges by decoupling the requirement for bond activation and reaction selectivity. This hybrid configuration allows plasma to drive the activation of strong chemical bonds, while the electrochemical interface controls product formation. As a result, activity and selectivity can be optimized independently, offering a significant advantage over conventional approaches. Plasma-electrochemical systems have been successfully applied in ammonia synthesis, CO₂ reduction, methane activation, and environmental pollutant remediation. This review discusses recent advancements in plasma-electrochemical experimental setups and key chemical mechanisms involved in various catalytic conversions.

等离子体电化学系统催化反应的去耦活性和选择性

电化学系统被认为是与可再生能源直接集成的关键技术。然而，某些电化学系统的发展和工业应用受到低效率和电流密度的阻碍，特别是惰性化学键的激活。等离子体电化学系统的出现是一种变革性的方法，通过解耦对键激活和反应选择性的要求来克服这些挑战。这种混合结构允许等离子体驱动强化学键的激活，而电化学界面控制产物的形成。因此，活性和选择性可以独立优化，与传统方法相比具有显著优势。等离子体电化学系统已成功应用于氨合成、CO2还原、甲烷活化和环境污染物修复等领域。本文综述了等离子体电化学实验装置的最新进展以及各种催化转化过程中涉及的关键化学机制。
