Abstract
molecule as opposed to electronic excitation which is the main mechanism at room temperature in conventional DBD reactors, however it also reduced the rate of elementary reaction steps. The counterplay between these two effects leads to a maximum in the reaction rate. The power consumption monotonously increased as the temperature decreased. The effective capacitance of the reactor increased by 1.5 times at 263 K as compared to that at 298 K changing the electric field distribution inside the plasma zone.
