Abstract

backward reactions, and probably most importantly, there is a clear need for improved plasma reactor design with better contact between plasma and catalyst. In this paper, we describe these critical limitations and suggest possible solutions. In addition, we stress the importance of correct measurements and consistent reporting, and finally we also propose other promising plasma-material combinations beyond the strict definition of catalysts. We hope this opinion paper can help to make progress in this booming research field.
