Compact and Modular Atmospheric Plasma Device for Generating Single Plasma Micro-filaments
The invention relates to a transient spark discharge device (1) configured to generate an atmospheric pressure plasma filament (10) comprising the following components: - a controller circuit (2-1) connected to and configured to control - a DC-voltage-driven driver circuit (2-2) configured to generate a first signal at a first output (7), wherein the controller circuit is configured to control at least one signal property of the first signal, such as an amplitude, a frequency and/or a shape of the first signal, wherein the first output (7) is electrically connected to - a piezoelectric transformer (2-3), wherein the piezoelectric transformer is configured to generate a second signal at a second output (9), wherein the second output (9) is electrically connectable or connected to - a nozzle (3) comprising one or more electrically conductive electrodes (3-1) connectable or connected to the second output (9), wherein each electrode (3-1) comprises a conductive electrode tip (3-4), wherein each electrode comprises a hollow channel (3-2) with a first opening (3-2-1) at its electrode tip (3-4) and a second opening (3-2-2) at an opposite end of the channel (3- 2), such that a feed gas (8) may be flown from the second opening (3-2-2) to the first opening (3-2-1) for replenishing the feed gas (8) at the electrode tip (3-4), wherein the second signal is configured to cause a transient spark discharge at each electrode tip (3-4) of the one or more electrodes such as to generate a transient plasma filament (10) at each electrode tip (3-4).
Method for Enzyme-Assisted Plasma Chemical Reaction
The present invention relates to a method for performing an enzymatic reaction, wherein the enzymatic reaction is performed in a reaction volume in the presence of water using plasma-generated species. The method is characterized in that plasma is generated in said reaction volume.
Method and Device for Forming a Catalytically-Active Membrane or a Membrane-electrode-assembly
The present invention relates to a membrane-electrode-assembly for a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell or an electrolyzer comprising the following components: a first gas-permeable electrode layer, a first self-supporting nanoporous catalyst layer comprising a noble metal, and a membrane, wherein the first self-supporting nanoporous catalyst layer extends between the first gas-permeable electrode layer and the membrane, characterized in that the first self-supporting nanoporous catalyst layer is formed by a plurality of grains of a first catalyst compound, wherein gaps are formed in between the grains such as to form an increased surface area of the first self-supporting nanoporous catalyst layer for enhancing catalytic reactions, wherein the first self-supporting nanoporous catalyst layer is self-supported by the noble metal.
