Dielectric barrier discharges: progress on plasma sources and on the understanding of regimes and single filaments

TL;DR: A review of the existing literature on DBDs can be found in this article, where the main part is devoted to the progress on the investigation of different aspects of breakdown and plasma formation with the focus on single filaments or microdischarges.

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.

Study on Decay Characteristics of OH Radical Density in Pulsed Discharge in Ar/H2O

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the time-resolved two-dimensional distribution of OH radicals generated in a pulsed discharge by means of laser-induced fluorescence and estimated the density of 3×1015 cm-3 under the present discharge conditions.

Modeling of helium plasma jets emerged into ambient air: Influence of applied voltage, jet radius, and helium flow velocity on plasma jet characteristics

TL;DR: In this paper, a simulation of positive streamers propagating along helium jets emerged into ambient air is performed, in the framework of a standard two-dimensional streamer model, for various values of parameters (applied voltage, helium flow velocity, and jet radius) governing the streamer dynamics and structure.

Spectroscopic measurement of electron temperature and density in argon plasmas based on collisional-radiative model

TL;DR: In this paper, a collisional-radiative model of argon was used for determining the electron temperature and density in a positive column of an argon dc discharge, and compared with those obtained by a Langmuir probe.

Calibration of laser-saturated fluorescence measurements using Rayleigh scattering.

TL;DR: Calibration of laser-saturated fluorescence measurements using Rayleigh scattering is presented as an alternative to absorption, which is advantageous when measuring radical species at concentrations well below the corresponding detection limit for absorption.

Impact of plasma jet vacuum ultraviolet radiation on reactive oxygen species generation in bio-relevant liquids

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EMSEM) to detect moderate stable reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide anion (O2−) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH).
