Abstract
Currently, the development of the “green” chemical industry using renewable hydrogen has received great attention for the goal of achieving a sustainable net-zero circular economy. The plasma-catalytic electrification process is considered a promising feasible approach to produce value-added platform chemicals and fuels in an environmentally friendly and carbon-neutral way. In this thesis, CO2 hydrogenation to methanol and ammonia synthesis were performed in packed-bed dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactors via plasma-catalysis at ambient conditions. This avoids the high temperature and pressure from conventional industry processes using thermal catalysis. To further reveal the reaction mechanism of this complex system, an integrated DBD/gas cell reactor was designed for in situ Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) (transmission infrared mode) probing of the surface adsorbates in the plasma-catalytic chemical reactions.
