Interaction Between Plasma and Catalyst

The presence of a catalyst in plasma regions will not only increase the reaction surface area and provide catalytic sites, but also maintain and most likely increase 

The potential of nonthermal plasma technologies for the utilization of C02 has been addressed in this chapter. Nonthermal plasma pathways have many advantages over conventional catalysis, notably that they can be generated under ambient
