Fundamental insights and emerging opportunities in plasma catalysis for light alkane conversion

Year: 2024

Type: review

Abstract: With increasingly available renewable sources of electricity, plasma catalysis could be a key component in the decarbonization of natural gas and greenhouse gas valorization. Fundamental insight is needed in both the coupling of plasma and catalytic chemistries, and in chemical limitations and opportunities of such coupled systems to enable larger scale engineering and optimization. This perspective describes some of the pressing needs and high-impact opportunities present in the current research landscape of plasma catalysis for light hydrocarbons.
