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.

Colloquium: Reactive plasmas as a versatile nanofabrication tool

TL;DR: In this article, the benefits and challenges of using plasma-based systems in nanofabrication of nanostructured silicon films, low-dimensional semiconducting quantum structures, ordered carbon nanotip arrays, highly crystalline ${\mathrm{TiO}}_{2}$ coatings, and nano-structured hydroxyapatite bioceramics are discussed.

Cross Sections for Electron Collisions with Water Molecules

TL;DR: In this article, cross section data have been compiled from the literature (to the end of 2003) for electron collisions with water (H2O) molecules, including total scattering, elastic scattering, momentum transfer, excitation of rotational, vibrational, and electronic states, ionization, electron attachment, dissociation, and emission of radiation.

Stable glow plasma at atmospheric pressure

TL;DR: A stable glow plasma at atmospheric pressure has been achieved for plasma treatment under selected conditions, for example the structure of electrodes, the kind of dilute gas, and the frequency of power as discussed by the authors.
