Abstract—Non-thermal plasma (NTP) is showing great
potentials in energy conversion as an alternative to
thermal-catalysis or electro-catalysis. Extensive efforts
have been made in fields of plasma-enabled synthesis of
chemicals and fuels, plasma-enabled the environmental
clean-up, plasma-enabled catalysis treatment, in-situ
probing of plasma-catalyst interactions and its high-voltage
applications, which show great potentials in industrial
demands like CO2 hydrogenation, CH4 reforming and nitrogen
fixation, plasma deposition, chemical synthesis, VOC
abatement and high-voltage insulation. This session aims to
report the recent progress on conversion technology, complex
mechanism simulation, in-situ detection and their
high-voltage applications from researchers around the world.
These proceedings are suitable for researchers engaged in
fields of plasma-catalysis, discharge diagnosis and
modelling, chemical modelling and high-voltage applications.
Content
The main contributions received and research contents of
this branch are involving several points. Initially, the
focus is on developing advanced plasma-catalysis conversion
technologies. This involves exploring the role of plasma in
catalyzing chemical reactions, as well as tackling the
challenges associated with scaling and practically
implementing these systems. The fundamental mechanism is to
be uncovered by points of advanced in-situ plasma-catalysis
characterization, advanced in-situ discharge diagnosis and
multi-scale or innovative modelling. Cutting-edge approaches
are to be employed to elucidate the reaction properties of
energy conversion in both the gas-phase and at the gas-solid
interface in the presence of plasma. This helps to uncover
the underlying relationships between physicochemical
parameters at the microscopic level and the macroscopic
experimental conditions in plasma systems. Last but not
least, studies in high-voltage discharge and applications
are welcome, so that to give new insights in fields of
high-voltage insulation and gas discharge. All findings from
these endeavors will be summarized to offer comprehensive,
up-to-date insights into plasma energy conversion and
high-voltage applications.
