It is also widely used for air pollution control (e.g., VOC remediation). Plasma catalysis allows thermodynamically difficult reactions to proceed at ambient pressure and temperature, due to activation of the gas molecules by energetic electrons created in the plasma. However, plasma is very reactive but not selective, and thus a catalyst is needed to improve the selectivity. In spite of the growing interest in plasma catalysis, the underlying mechanisms of the (possible) synergy between plasma and catalyst are not yet fully understood. Indeed, plasma catalysis is quite complicated, as the plasma will affect the catalyst and vice versa. Moreover, due to the reactive plasma environment, the most suitable catalysts will probably be different from thermal catalysts. More research is needed to better understand the plasma-catalyst interactions, in order to further improve the applications.plasma catalysis; mode transition; packed-bed dielectric barrier discharge; particle-in- cell/Monte Carlo collision method; surface filament; gas composition; self-cooling; dielectric barrier discharge; CO2 decomposition; CO selectivity; packing materials; toluene; CeO2; mineralization; in plasma-catalysis; post plasma-catalysis; relative humidity; plasmas-catalysis; non-thermal plasmas; perovskite catalysts; nonstoichiometry; H2S oxidation; plasma catalysis; gallium; indium; Ga-In alloys; radiofrequency plasma; ammonia synthesis; rotating gliding arc plasma; tar destruction; toluene; naphthalene; phenanthrene; catalyst; dielectric barrier discharge (DBD); isotope labelling; methane reforming; ammonia synthesis; plasma catalysis; dry reforming of methane; dielectric barrier discharge; packing materials; plasma catalysis; VOC abatement; air pollution; zeolites; adsorption-plasma catalysis; NOx conversion; DBD plasma; Manganese; bimetal; nanocatalyst; plasma catalysis; catalyst preparation; NH3 decomposition; H2 generation; nonequilibrium plasma; plasma catalysis; gas temperature; calcium carbonate decomposition; n/aBogaerts Annemie1312704ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910765506403321Plasma Catalysis3040646UNINA
