W.A. Bongers,Henricus J.M. Bouwmeester,Bram Wolf,F. J. J. Peeters,Stefan Welzel,Dirk van den Bekerom,Niek den Harder,Adelbert Goede,M.F. Graswinckel,P. W. C. Groen,J. Kopecki,Martina Leins,Gerard van Rooij,Andreas Schulz,Matthias Walker,Richard van de Sanden +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, a vortex-stabilized microwave plasma reactor was used to study the energy and conversion efficiency of CO2 dissociation in a power-to-gas storage system.
Journal ArticleDOI

van Gj Gerard Rooij,van den Dcm Dirk Bekerom,den Np Niek Harder,Teofil Minea,Giel Berden,W.A. Bongers,Rah Richard Engeln,M.F. Graswinckel,E. Zoethout,van de Mcm Richard Sanden +9 more
TL;DR: A novel approach involving additives of low ionization potential to tailor the electron energies to the vibrational excitation regime is proposed, indicating that the intrinsic electron energies are higher than is favorable for preferential vibratory excitation due to dissociative excitation, which causes thermodynamic equilibrium chemistry to dominate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strong Scattering of High Power Millimeter Waves in Tokamak Plasmas with Tearing Modes
E. Westerhof,Stefan Kragh Nielsen,J.W. Oosterbeek,Mirko Salewski,M. de Baar,W.A. Bongers,A. Bürger,B. A. Hennen,Søren Bang Korsholm,Frank Leipold,Dmitry Moseev,Morten Stejner,David J. Thoen +12 more
TL;DR: In tokamak plasmas with a tearing mode, strong scattering of high power millimeter waves, as used for heating and noninductive current drive, is shown to occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
White paper on the future of plasma science in environment, for gas conversion and agriculture
Ronny Brandenburg,Annemie Bogaerts,W.A. Bongers,Alexander Fridman,Gregory Fridman,Bruce R. Locke,Vandana Miller,Stephan Reuter,Milko Schiorlin,Tiny Verreycken,Kostya Ostrikov +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that plasma science and technology can make significant contributions to address the mentioned issues in climate change, environmental pollution control, and resource utilization efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
