Reaction chemistry of plasmas in liquids interacting with surfaces (B07)

• Subject Area: Optics, Quantum Optics and Physics of Atoms, Molecules and Plasmas
• Term: since 2018
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 327886311

Nanosecond and microsecond plasmas in liquid will be used to recover a copper oxide surface used as an electrocatalyst. The plasma effects on the surface are analyzed in an in-operando system using infrared spectrometry and cyclic voltammetry. An analysis of the plasma and of the plasma-treated liquids complements this.
