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.

The Effect of Nitrogen Diffusion From Surrounding Air on Plasma Bullet Behavior

TL;DR: In this paper, a fast intensified charge-coupled device camera was used to obtain high-speed photographs of the plasma plume with different working gases, and it was shown that diffusion of nitrogen into the working gas flow plays an important role in the acceleration of the plume.
