10th Catalysts Webinar

Plasma-Catalysis for Environmental and Energy-Related Applications

Plasma catalysis has been a topic of research for many years due to its potential for applications in a wide range of chemical, environmental, and energy-related processes. Although non-thermal plasma offers an unconventional way to initiate chemical reactions in gas and in liquid, it suffers from low selectivity. The coupling of plasma with catalysis can steer the reactions in the desired direction, thus providing improved selectivity and reducing unwanted by-products. Recently, significant research efforts have been devoted to explaining the mechanisms of plasma catalyst interaction; however, the present understanding still leaves open questions related to the complex phenomena involved in plasma catalysis.

In the first lecture of this webinar, Professor Annemie Bogaerts will discuss about modeling as a way to obtain better insight in the underlying mechanisms of plasma catalysis, in the talk entitled “Plasma catalysis: A better understanding by modeling the plasma and plasma-catalyst interactions”.

The second lecture, given by Professor Chris Hardacre and entitled “Non thermal plasma catalysis for emission control and clean hydrogen production”, will discuss environmental and energy applications of plasma catalysis.
