Abstract

Low-temperature catalytic reactions induced by nonthermal plasma (NTP) have been of great interest in plasma chemistry. The presence of plasma can alter the elementary steps in catalysis. The type of catalysts also provides substantial changes in plasma properties. This chapter reviews the current progress in the experimental observations and the understanding of bilateral interactions of NTP with catalysts. Among the various types of combinations, this chapter will mostly focus on the single-stage plasma-driven catalysis. Several lines of the experimental evidence on the interaction are introduced: type of reactor, propagation of discharge streamer, key components of plasma, and catalyst durability.
