Plasma-driven conversion of major greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, etc.) represents a promising way to simultaneously store renewable energy and convert the greenhouse gases into value-added compounds. Nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharges have shown high efficiency in CO2 reduction to CO, and O2[1, 2]. To gain further insights into the physical and chemical mechanisms of CO2 dissociation in the first microseconds after the discharge pulse, collisional energy transfer laser-induced fluorescence (CET-LIF) and time-resolved optical emission spectroscopy have been employed to probe the evolution of the gas composition and the translational temperature, respectively.
In a world increasingly facing new challenges at the forefront of plasma scientific research and technological innovation, CNR and ISTP pledge progress and achieve an impact in the integration of research into societal practices and policy
