Cold atmospheric plasma activated water as a prospective disinfectant: the crucial role of peroxynitrite

TL;DR: This research successfully demonstrated the possibility of PAW being an effective environmentally benign disinfectant, the activity of which is closely linked to the generation of peroxynitrite, providing much needed insights into the fundamental aspects ofPAW chemistry required for optimisation of the biochemical activity of PAw and translation of this decontamination strategy into real life applications.

Plasma-activated water: generation, origin of reactive species and biological applications

TL;DR: This review presents a succinct review of how novel, efficient methods based on non-equilibrium reactive plasma chemistries can be applied to low-cost natural water sources to produce a prospective product with a wide range of applications while at the same time minimising the process steps and dramatically reducing the use of expensive and/or hazardous reagents.

Main Species and Physicochemical Processes in Cold Atmospheric-pressure He + O2 Plasmas

TL;DR: In this paper, the main species and chemical processes in low-temperature atmospheric-pressure He?+?O2 plasmas were identified using a comprehensive global model and the simulation results highlight the significance of Penning processes at low oxygen concentration, and the increasingly important role of electron attachment as the oxygen concentration increases.

Atmospheric pressure plasma jets interacting with liquid covered tissue: touching and not-touching the liquid

TL;DR: In this article, a single discharge pulse at three different voltages was directed onto a 200 µm water layer covering tissue followed by a 10 µm afterglow, and the magnitude of the voltage and its pulse length determined if the ionization wave producing the plasma plume reached the surface of the liquid.

Cold atmospheric pressure plasma jets as sources of singlet delta oxygen for biomedical applications

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the absolute densities of singlet delta oxygen (SDO) molecules using infrared optical emission spectroscopy in the flowing effluents of two different atmospheric-pressure plasma jets (APPJ): a capacitively coupled radio-frequency-driven jet (rf-APPJ) and a lower frequency kilohertz-driven dielectric barrier discharge jet (LDDE).

Nitric oxide density measurements in air and air/fuel nanosecond pulse discharges by laser induced fluorescence

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured absolute NO concentrations in air, methane-air and ethylene-air non-equilibrium plasmas, as a function of time after initiation of a single pulse, 20 kV peak voltage, 25 ns pulse duration discharge.
