From ozone generators to flat television screens: history and future potential of dielectric-barrier discharges
TLDR
Dielectric-barrier discharges (silent discharges) combine the ease of atmospheric pressure operation with nonequilibrium plasma conditions suited for many plasma chemical processes.Abstract:
Dielectric-barrier discharges (silent discharges) combine the ease of atmospheric pressure operation with nonequilibrium plasma conditions suited for many plasma chemical processes. In most gases at this pressure the discharge consists of a large number of randomly distributed short-lived microdischarges. Their properties are discussed in detail. Traditionally mainly used for industrial ozone production, dielectric-barrier discharges have found addi- tional large volume applications in surface treatment, high-power CO2 lasers, excimer ultraviolet lamps, pollution control and, most recently, also in large-area flat plasma display panels. Future applications may include their use in greenhouse gas control technologies. Historical aspects, properties and applications of dielectric-barrier discharges are discussed.read more

Advanced Ozone Generation
TL;DR: Ozone was discovered in 1839 by C.F. Schonbein who studied the electrolytic decomposition of water as discussed by the authors, and it took more than two decades of vehement scientific dispute before the constitution of this new substance was clearly identified as a three-atomic molecule containing only oxygen, namely O3 (J.L. Soret 1865).

Behaviour of NO x in air-fed ozonizers
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of humidity, gas pressure, power density, and cooling temperature on NO formation was investigated and the experimental results were compzred with calculations based on a rate equation system of 75 chemical reactions and a considerably reduced system.
