TL;DR: In this article, a critical analysis of the chemical results of anodic CGDE at varying voltages, currents, power supplies, and pHs clearly shows that nonfaradaic yields originate in two separate reaction zones: the plasma around the anode and the liquid anolyte near the plasma-anolyte interface.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study of the chemical yields of contact glow discharge electrolysis (CGDE) at the anode in aqueous inert electrolytes at various quantities of electricity, applied voltages and electrolyte compositions is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, it has been concluded that solvent vaporization near an electrode by Joule heating during electrolysis and the onset of hydrodynamic instabilities in local solvent vaporisation are the prime causes for the breakdown of normal electrolysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, a critical investigation on the influence of relative anode-cathode dimensions, the relative anolytecatholyte surface tension, the nature of the electrolyte constituents, and the polarity of the electrode on the onset and location of contact glow discharge electrolysis in aqueous media was carried out.

TL;DR: In this article, the radical generating potentiality of anodic contact glow-discharge electrolysis was explored for the polymerization of acrylamide in aqueous media, and the percentage of monomer conversion, rate of polymerization, charge efficiency, and viscometric average molar mass of the polymers produced were measured as functions of the quantities of electricity passed.
