Plasma catalytical reactors for atmospheric gas conversions

Plasma catalysis, the combination of non-thermal plasma and catalyst, is a promising approach for optimizing chemical conversions as the removal of gas trace components. The various technological opportunities for the generation of atmospheric non-thermal plasma combined with the variety of usable catalysts result in a huge amount of different experimental approaches. The aim of the presented review is to give an overview of plasma catalytic reactor designs currently discussed in literature as well as to point out technological differences and potential for up-scaling.
