CO2 and CH4 conversion in a rotating DC glow to arc plasma with big discharge gap

Key Points

• Conversion efficiencies of CO2 and CH4 were significantly improved using a rotating DC glow to arc plasma.
• Notably, a discharge gap of 5 cm allowed for efficient reaction dynamics in transforming these gases into usable products.
• The approach involved analyzing the properties of plasma generated under varying operational conditions, focusing on gas flow rates and energy input.
• Findings highlight potential advancements in energy production, though scalability and industrial application still need exploration.
