Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric plasmas for thin film deposition: A critical review
TL;DR: An overview of the possibilities of atmospheric plasma for the deposition of inorganic and organic coatings is presented in this article, where particularities of the atmospheric discharges and their consequences on the synthesis of films are presented and discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma modified polymer surfaces: Characterization using XPS
TL;DR: In this paper, the utility of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for the characterization of plasma-modified polymer surfaces is discussed, including peak fitting, derivatization, angle-resolved XPS, and surface grafting of polar functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
CO2 dissociation in a packed bed DBD reactor: First steps towards a better understanding of plasma catalysis
Inne Michielsen,Y. Uytdenhouwen,Judith Pype,Judith Pype,Bart Michielsen,Jeremy Mertens,François Reniers,Vera Meynen,Vera Meynen,Annemie Bogaerts +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of specific material and reactor properties, as well as reactor/bead configuration, on the conversion and energy efficiency of CO2 dissociation in a packed bed dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon nanotubes randomly decorated with gold clusters: from nano2hybrid atomic structures to gas sensing prototypes
Jean-Christophe Charlier,Laurent Arnaud,I. Avilov,Mari Carmen Ruiz Delgado,Frédéric Demoisson,E.H. Espinosa,Christopher P. Ewels,Alexandre Felten,Jérôme Guillot,Radu Ionescu,R. Leghrib,Eduard Llobet,Ali Mansour,Henri-Noël Migeon,J.J. Pireaux,François Reniers,Irene Suarez-Martinez,G. Watson,Zeila Zanolli +18 more
TL;DR: The numerical simulations predict the binding and diffusion energies of gold atoms at the tube surface, including realistic atomic models for defects potentially present at the nanotube surface, and the atomic structure of the gold nanoclusters and their effect on the intrinsic electronic quantum transport properties of thenanotube are predicted.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of power and frequency on the filamentary behavior of a flowing DBD—application to the splitting of CO2
Alp Ozkan,Alp Ozkan,Thierry Dufour,Tiago Silva,Nikolay Britun,Rony Snyders,Annemie Bogaerts,François Reniers +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the applied frequency and plasma power on the microdischarge properties is investigated to understand their role on the CO2 conversion, and it is shown that the conversion depends mostly on the charge delivered in the plasma and not on the effective plasma voltage when the applied power is modified.
