Description
During the second funding period of the CRC, the development of suitable catalysts and a detailed study of the underlying global reaction kinetics and transport of reactive species within the VOC conversion process will be explored. Scaled-up reactor concepts will be constructed and tested. In cooperation with other projects customized electrodes and voltage waveform tailoring will be used with the goal of improving the plasma-catalyst interaction and gaining insight into the specific reaction mechanisms involved.
