Research with distinction – our article in Plasma (MDPI)

Specialist article ‘Hybrid Dielectric Barrier Discharge Reactor: Characterisation for Ozone Production’ has been named Editor’s Choice in the international journal Plasma (MDPI)! This is a special honour for us, as the Editor’s Choice is a special recommendation by the scientific editors of MDPI journals, who consider an article to be particularly important for the respective research field.

The generation of ozone by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is often used for water treatment and surface treatment. It has been shown that the demand for compact and efficient generators of ozone and reactive oxygen-nitrogen species (RONS) for medical, biological and agricultural applications is increasing. In this study, a novel hybrid DBD reactor (HDBD) is presented that fulfils these requirements. Its structured high-voltage electrode enables the ignition of both surface and volume microdischarges that contribute to plasma generation. Our article sheds light on effective ozone generation for various process gases.
