Plasma-based conversion of CO2: current status and future challenges

Abstract

This paper discusses our recent results on plasma-based CO₂ conversion, obtained by a combination of experiments and modeling, for a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), a microwave plasma and a packed bed DBD reactor. The results illustrate that plasma technology is quite promising for CO₂ conversion, but more research is needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms and to further improve the capabilities.
