Abstract:

Electrical discharges in liquids have received lots of attention with respect to their potential applications in various techniques and technical processes. Exemplary, they are useful for water treatment, chemical and thermal processes acceleration, or nanoparticles production. In this paper the special utility of discharges for cold pasteurization of fruit juices is presented. Development of devices for its implementation is a significant engineering problem and should be performed using modeling and simulation techniques to determine the real parameters of discharges. Unfortunately, there is a lack of clear and uniform description of breakdown phenomena in liquids. To overcome this limitation, new methods and algorithms for streamers propagation and breakdown phase analysis are presented in the paper. All solutions were tested in “active area” in the form of liquid material model, placed between two flat electrodes. Electromagnetic and thermal-coupled field analysis were performed to determine all the factors that affect the discharge propagation. Additionally, some circuit models were used to include the power source cooperation with discharge region. In general, presented solutions can be defined as universal and one can use them for numerical simulation of other types of discharges.

Abstract:

A new configuration of a discharge chamber and power source for the treatment of up to 1 L of liquid is presented. A leakage transformer, energizing two metal electrodes positioned above the liquid, limits the discharge current inductively by utilizing the weak magnetic coupling between the primary and secondary coils. No additional means to avoid arcing (electric short-circuiting), e.g., dielectric barriers or resistors, are needed. By using this technique, exceeding the breakdown voltage leads to the formation of transient spark discharges, producing non-thermal plasma (NTP). These discharges effected significant changes in the properties of the treated liquids (distilled water, physiological saline solution, and tap water). Considerable concentrations of nitrite and nitrate were detected after the plasma treatment. Furthermore, all tested liquids gained strong antibacterial efficacy which was shown by inactivating suspended Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Plasma-treated tap water had the strongest effect, which is shown for the first time. Additionally, the pH-value of tap water did not decrease during the plasma treatment, and its conductivity increased less than for the other tested liquids.

Abstract:

Abstract The study of plasma–liquid interactions has evolved as a new interdisciplinary research field driven by the development of plasma applications for water purification, biomedicine and agriculture. Electrical discharges in contact with liquids are a rich source of reactive species in gas and in liquid phase which can be used to break polluting compounds in water or to induce healing processes in medical applications. An understanding of the fundamental processes in plasma, and of the interaction of plasma with liquid, enables the optimization of plasma chemistry in large-scale plasma devices with liquid electrodes. This article reviews recent progress and insight in the research of low-temperature plasmas in contact with liquids at atmospheric pressure. The work mainly focuses on the physical processes and phenomena in these plasmas with an attempt to provide a review of the latest and the most important research outcomes in the literature. The article provides an overview of the breakdown mechanisms in discharges in contact with liquid, emphasizing the recently studied specifities of plasma jets impinging on the liquid surface, and discharge generation with a high overvoltage. It also covers innovative approaches in the generation of plasma in contact with liquids. Novel phenomena detected by the imaging techniques and measurement of discharge parameters in the reviewed discharges are also presented. The results, the techniques that are applied, and those that may be applied in further studies, are listed and discussed. A brief overview of the applications focuses on the original approaches and new application fields. Future challenges and gaps in knowledge regarding further advancement in applications are summarized.

Abstract:

Plasma bubbles are regarded as a promising means of interacting plasma discharges and liquids due to their high efficiency in the generation of reactive species. The discharge mode and characteristics are significant factors that should be considered. In this study, the plasmas are initially generated in the gas phase and then driven by the gas flow to diffuse into the solution through the two holes at the lower part of the quartz tube to form plasma bubbles. The discharge modes, characteristics, and plasma–liquid interactions in two different configurations, i.e., bare electrode and dielectric-coated electrode, are investigated. It is found that the discharge mode induced for the two structures is different, with a hybrid-mode operating in the bare electrode design and a filamentary mode operating in the dielectric design. When the applied voltage is increased, a filamentary-to-spark transition occurs in the bare structure, while the discharge remains relatively stable in the dielectric design. Direct and intense contact between the discharge and the solution in the bare structure greatly promotes the physio-chemical reactions and results in obvious changes in H2O2 concentration, solution pH, conductivity, and temperature. This study provides insights into hybrid gas–liquid discharges and reactor design for plasma bubble generation.

Abstract:

Electrospark discharges in liquids are the subject of numerous studies, as they are a source of powerful wave pulses that can be used in various technological processes. One of the first researchers of this phenomenon was L.O. Yutkin, who substantiated and investigated the electrohydraulic effect (EHE). This effect allows to transform electrical energy into mechanical energy of powerful shock waves, which opens up great opportunities for increasing the efficiency of various technologies. The purpose of the study is to analyze the history of the study of electric spark discharges in liquids, the contribution of L.O. Yutkin to the development of the theory and practical application of the EHE, and to highlight the advantages of wave treatments based on this effect. In the course of the study, scientific papers and experimental data obtained in the study of electrospark discharges in liquids and the electrohydraulic effect were analyzed. The theoretical foundations of these phenomena were considered, as well as practical applications of EHE in various industries. The electrohydraulic effect (EHE), discovered by L.O. Yutkin, is a unique phenomenon that allows converting electrical energy into mechanical energy of powerful shock waves. This is achieved by generating an electric discharge in a liquid, which leads to the formation of a plasma channel and the subsequent occurrence of a shock wave. The main advantage of wave treatments based on EHE is the ability to introduce large amounts of energy into the medium, which allows to increase the efficiency of numerous technological processes. The electrohydraulic Yutkin effect remains an inexhaustible source for the creation of advanced technologies that are already widely used in many industries

Abstract:

The large number of works published in recent years on non-thermal discharges in (and in contact with) liquids, shows the growing interest in this particular field of electric discharges due to the large number of technological applications. In particular, one of the fastest growing emerging applications is the treatment of water, both for its purification and for its activation, with a view to carrying out the indirect treatment of food and seeds with non-thermal discharges; without the addition of chemicals. In this work, the experimental characterization of a corona discharge in contact with water operating in a pulsed regime is presented. A flat-wire type geometry was used with the flat electrode immersed in water. The discharge was powered through a pulsed capacitive type source, capable of providing a periodic train ofhigh voltage pulses (∼15 kV) with short duration (∼100 ns), with a repetition frequency of 40 pulses/s. The results of discharge voltage and current measurements are reported and discussed for different operating conditions, and the instantaneous power and energy dissipated in the generated plasma are inferred. Photographs in the visible with long exposure times of the pulsed discharge are also shown

Abstract:

The synthesis of nanosheets through discharges in liquid nitrogen is observed for certain metals when employed as electrodes [1,2]. Various metals have been examined, with bismuth, lead, or zinc showing a propensity to form nanosheets. Other metals, such as silver or indium, also exhibit sheet formation but with smaller aspect ratios (width/thickness). Mixing metals is not only interesting to create alloys with new properties but also to understand how discharges work to enable the synthesis of these objects. Recently, we demonstrated that these structures can be grown not only in liquid nitrogen but also in water. This is attributed to the discharge primarily originating from the metallic vapor emitted by the electrodes, a consistent process in both liquids, as confirmed by time-resolved optical emission spectroscopy. We showcased that a pre-treatment, involving chemical etching by a Nital solution, significantly enhances the efficiency of nanosheet production, increasing it from almost zero to nearly 100%. We successfully identified the growth mechanism of nanosheets in the case of bismuth electrodes. These structures grow on the cathode with ion assistance, collecting in the bubble formed during the discharge. Upon the collapse of the bubble, they transfer into the liquid phase. Interestingly, the number density of nanoparticles produced under these conditions is either null or too weak to be evaluated. It is feasible to incorporate two different elements into 2D nanostructures by utilizing two electrodes. We achieved a mixture of lead and bismuth oxide by using electrodes composed of the respective elements. This capability is likely associated with the similar melting points and miscibility of both elements. Nanosheets exhibit thicknesses around 5-10 nm for widths ranging in the tens of micrometers. We anticipate that a more comprehensive understanding of the synthesis of these alloys will pave the way for the production of alloyed nanosheets incorporating other elements. [1] A. Hamdan, H.

Abstract:

In recent decades, the field of nanotechnology has witnessed rapid growth, fueled by the exceptional physical, chemical, mechanical, and electrical properties of nanoscale materials. Nanomaterials have found applications across various domains, including catalysis, drug delivery, microelectronics, and more. Notably, plasma-based methods have emerged as promising avenues for nanomaterial synthesis, offering versatile approaches through both bottom-up and top-down techniques. One particularly innovative area of research is the plasma-liquid system, which has demonstrated remarkable efficiency in nanomaterial synthesis. This system involves the generation of plasma in a gas phase in contact with a liquid or directly within the liquid, sometimes aided by the introduction of bubbles. This communication has two goals: 1) present an overview of the physics of different discharge mechanisms, with a particular focus on the intriguing phenomena occurring at the interfaces, and 2) show different cases where nanomaterials of interest are produced. For instance, we will show that in-liquid spark discharges prouce nanoparticles through electrode erosion, and notably, the properties of these materials are highly sensitive to both the nature of the electrode and the composition of the liquid. In the second part, we introduce an innovative plasma-liquid system where a discharge can be produced at or close the interface of two immiscible liquids. In specific cases where the system is composed of a conductive solution (e.g. salty water) and a hydrocarbon liquid, spark discharges can be generated between a pin in liquid hydrocarbon and the surface of the conductive solution. This unique configuration facilitates therefore an interaction between a high-density plasma (generated in liquid) and a solution containing metal ions. At this stage, many reactions may occur and lead to the reduction of ions to produce nanomaterials. We found that the particles collected from hydrocarbon liquid are different from those collected from the solution, in terms of composition and size distribution. This finding suggests the triggering of different chemical reactions in each liquid, involving thus species with short- as well as long-lifetime species. Consequently, we adopted this approach to synthesize metal nanoparticles as well as binary and ternary nanoalloys, expanding the scope of possibilities in nanomaterial synthesis.

Abstract:

In this work, we developed a portable device with low production and operation costs for generating an ambient air low-current arc (AALCA) that is transferred to the surface of a treated liquid. It was possible to generate a stable discharge, irrespective of the conductivity of the treated liquid, as a sequence of corona, repeating spark, and low-current arc discharges. The estimated concentration of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) in plasma-treated water (PTW) produced using AALCA treatment was two orders of magnitude higher than that of PTW produced using conventional He nonequilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma jets or dielectric barrier discharges. The strong bactericidal effect of the treatment using AALCA and the water treated using AALCA was confirmed by survival tests of Escherichia coli. Further, the possibility of treating a continuous flow of liquid using AALCA was demonstrated.

Abstract:

This article presents the results of the analysis of energy distribution of optical radiation emitted by electrical discharges in insulating liquids, such as synthetic ester, natural ester, and mineral oil. The measurements of optical radiation were carried out on a system of needle–needle type electrodes and on a system for surface discharges, which were immersed in brand new insulating liquids. Optical radiation was recorded using optical spectrophotometry method. On the basis of the obtained results, potential possibilities of using the analysis of the energy distribution of optical radiation as an additional descriptor for the recognition of individual sources of electric discharges were indicated. The results can also be used in the design of various types of detectors, as well as high-voltage diagnostic systems and arc protection systems.

Abstract:

THE PURPOSE. Comprehensive study of the effect of direct current electric discharge plasma in a gas-liquid medium of inorganic mixtures in order to obtain gaseous hydrogen. Obtain volt-ampere, volt-second and ampere-second characteristics of the discharge at various concentrations of electrolyte. Study the process of electrolysis, breakdown, discharge ignition and discharge flow in a dielectric tube at a constant current. METHODS. To solve this problem, experimental studies were carried out on a model installation, which consists of a power supply system, a discharge chamber, equipment for monitoring and controlling the operation of the installation and measuring the characteristics of an electric discharge. To analyze the stability of the discharge, the time dependences of the voltage ripple and the discharge current were obtained. RESULTS. Experimental studies were carried out between the electrolytic cathode and the electrolytic anode at constant current and at atmospheric pressure with the following parameters: discharge voltage U = 0.1-1.5 kV, discharge current I = 0.02-2.3 A, interelectrode distance l = 100 mm , 1%, 3% and 5% solutions of sodium chloride in tap water were used as electrolytes. CONCLUSION. It is shown that electrical breakdown and ignition of a discharge that is stable in time depends on the conductivity of the gas-liquid medium of the electrolyte. The nature of the current-voltage characteristics depends on the random processes occurring in the gas-liquid medium, which is associated with numerous breakdowns occurring in the gas-liquid medium of the electrolyte, combustion and attenuation of microdischarges, the appearance of bubbles, and the movement of the electrolyte inside the dielectric tube. It is shown that the generation of hydrogen and hydrogen-containing components can occur both at the stage of electrolysis and during discharge combustion. A feature of this method is that electrical discharges in the tube increase the release of hydrogen. In this installation, inorganic and organic liquids of a certain composition and concentration can be used. The results of experimental studies made it possible to develop and create a small-sized installation for producing gaseous hydrogen. Tests have shown that a small-sized plant can be taken as the basis for a industrial plant for the production of hydrogen gas.

Full text

Abstract:

The piezoelectric direct discharge (PDD) is a comparatively new type of atmospheric pressure gaseous discharge for production of cold plasma. The generation of such discharge is possible using the piezoelectric cold plasma generator (PCPG) which comprises the resonant piezoelectric transformer (RPT) with voltage transformation ratio of more than 1000, allowing for reaching the output voltage >10 kV at low input voltage, typically below 25 V. As ionization gas for the PDD, either air or various gas mixtures are used. Despite some similarities with corona discharge and dielectric barrier discharge, the ignition of micro-discharges directly at the ceramic surface makes PDD unique in its physics and application potential. The PDD is used directly, in open discharge structures, mainly for treatment of electrically nonconducting surfaces. It is also applied as a plasma bridge to bias different excitation electrodes, applicable for a broad range of substrate materials. In this review, the most important architectures of the PDD based discharges are presented. The operation principle, the main operational characteristics and the example applications, exploiting the specific properties of the discharge configurations, are discussed. Due to the moderate power achievable by PCPG, of typically less than 10 W, the focus of this review is on applications involving thermally sensitive materials, including food, organic tissues, and liquids.

Abstract:

Discharge in liquid is a promising technique to produce nanomaterials by electrode erosion. Although its feasibility was demonstrated in many conditions, the production of nanoalloys by in-liquid discharges remains a challenge. Here, we show that spark discharge in liquid cyclohexane that is in contact with conductive solution, made of a combination of Ni-nitrate and/or Fe-nitrate and/or Co-nitrate, is suitable to produce nanoalloys (<10 nm) of Ni-Fe, Ni-Co, Co-Fe, and Ni-Co-Fe. The nanoparticles are synthesized by the reduction of metal ions during discharge, and they are individually embedded in C-matrix; this latter originates from the decomposition of cyclohexane. The results open novel ways to produce a wide spectrum of nanoalloys; they are needed for many applications, such as in catalysis, plasmonic, and energy conversion.

Abstract:

The spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria poses a significant threat to human health. Plasma activated liquids (PAL) could be a promising alternative for microbial decontamination, where different PAL can possess diverse antimicrobial efficacies and cytotoxic profiles, depending on the range and concentration of their reactive chemical species. In this research, the biological activity of plasma activated water (PAW) on different biological targets including both microbiological and mammalian cells was investigated in vitro. The aim was to further an understanding of the specific role of distinct plasma reactive species, which is required to tailor plasma activated liquids for use in applications where high antimicrobial activity is required without adversely affecting the biology of eukaryotic cells. PAW was generated by glow and spark discharges, which provide selective generation of hydrogen peroxide, nitrite and nitrate in the liquid. The PAW made by either spark or glow discharges showed similar antimicrobial efficacy and stability of activity, despite the very different reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species profiles (RNS). However, different trends were observed for cytotoxic activities and effects on enzyme function, which were translated through the selective chemical species generation. These findings indicate very distinct mechanisms of action which may be exploited when tailoring plasma activated liquids to various applications. A remarkable stability to heat and pressure was noted for PAW generated with this set up, which broadens the application potential. These features also suggest that post plasma modifications and post generation stability can be harnessed as a further means of modulating the chemistry, activity and mode of delivery of plasma functionalised liquids. Overall, these results further understanding on how PAL generation may be tuned to provide candidate disinfectant agents for biomedical application or for bio-decontamination in diverse areas.

Abstract:

Abstract The use of ultrafast processes to synthesize alloy nanoparticles far from thermodynamic equilibrium is subject to phase transformations that keep particles at a given temperature for periods of time that are usually long with respect to the process pulse durations. Reaching non-equilibrium conditions is then not straightforwardly associated with this process, as fast as it can be, but rather with heat transfer mechanisms during phase transformations. This latter aspect is dependent on nanoparticle size. Furthermore, other important phenomena such as chemical ordering are essential to explain the final structure adopted by an alloy nanoparticle. In this work, specific attention is paid to suspensions submitted to either electrical discharges or to ultrashort laser excitations. After discussing the thermodynamic considerations that give the frame beyond which non-equilibrium alloys form, a description of the heating processes at stake is provided. This leads to the maximum temperature reached for particles with nanometric sizes and specific conditions to fulfil practically during the quenching step. The way that solidification must be processed for this purpose is discussed next. The example of the Cu–Ag system is finally considered to illustrate the advantage of better controlling processes that are currently used to create homogeneously alloyed nanoparticles made of immiscible elements, but also to show the actual limitations of these approaches.

Abstract:

One of the fastest growing technological applications in recent years in the area of non-thermal plasmas is the treatment of water with discharges in (and in contact with) liquids. Reactive chemical species are generated in the plasma in the gas phase and enter the liquid by diffusion or are generated at the gas-liquid interface, thus changing its physicochemical properties, without the addition of external chemical compounds. Depending on the form of application of the plasma, well-differentiated effects can be achieved: on the one hand, the purification of water through the degradation of organic pollutants, and on the other, its activation, through long-lived reactive species, for later use in seeds and food treatments. In this work, the first results obtained in the water treated with a pulsed corona discharge under different exposure times are reported. In particular, measurement results of indigo carmine degradation; electric conductivity; pH; aqueous concentrations of reactive species, such as nitrate, nitrite, hydrogen peroxide and ozone, are reported. The results are discussed and compared with published data.

Abstract:

In this paper, results of comparative studies on the positive lightning impulse breakdown voltage (LIBV) and accelerating voltage (Va) of six insulating liquids of different chemical composition are presented. This paper discusses the behavior of uninhibited naphthenic mineral oil (UMO), inhibited naphthenic mineral oil (IMO), natural ester (NE), synthetic ester (SE), and two modern dielectric fluids: bio-based hydrocarbon (BIO) and inhibited liquid produced using Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) technology. Measurements are taken in a point-to-sphere electrode system for two selected gap distances: 25 mm (which is suggested by the IEC 60897 standard) and 40 mm. After analyzing the obtained results, it is noted that positive LIBV does not differ significantly between the tested liquids. Noticeable differences are observed, however, for Va. The lowest values of this parameter characterize ester liquids, which is consistent with the common knowledge in this field. In addition, the obtained values of LIBV and Va are used to evaluate the maximum values of electric field intensity through the application of simulations for each specific case based on the finite element method. These simulations confirm that, for a given parameter, maximum electric field stress is on similar level, regardless of the gap distance. This proves that the breakdown and appearance of fast discharges are determined by specific field conditions.

Abstract:

Plasma-functionalized liquids (PFLs) are rich in chemical species, such as ozone, hydrogen peroxide, singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical and nitrogen oxides, commonly referred to as reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). Therefore, manifold applications are being investigated for their use in medicine, agriculture, and the environment. Depending on the goal, a suitable plasma source concept for the generation of PFLs has to be determined because the plasma generation setup determines the composition of reactive species. This study investigates three PFL-generating plasma sources—two spark discharges and a flow dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) system—for their efficacy in eliminating microbial contaminants from tissue samples aiming to replace antibiotics in the rinsing process. The final goal is to use these tissues as a cell source for cell-based meat production in bioreactors and thereby completely avoid antibiotics. Initially, a physicochemical characterization was conducted to better understand the decontamination capabilities of PFLs and their potential impact on tissue viability. The results indicate that the flow DBD system demonstrated the highest antimicrobial efficacy due to its elevated reactive species output and the possibility of direct treatment of tissues while tissue integrity remained. Achieving a balance between effective large-scale decontamination and the biocompatibility of PFLs remains a critical challenge.

Abstract:

Surface microgeometry created by the energy of electric discharges is related to surface wetting behavior. These relationships change depending on the scale of observation. In this work, contact angles correlated with the surface complexity of AA 6060 after electro-discharge machining were analyzed at different observation scales. This research focuses on the methodology of selecting the best scales for observing wetting phenomena on irregular surfaces, as well as indicating the topographic characterization parameters of the surface in relation to the scales. Additionally, the geometric features of the surface that determine the contact angle were identified. In this study, the surfaces of an aluminum alloy are rendered using focus variation 3D microscopy and described by standardized ISO, area-scale, and length-scale parameters. The research also confirms that it is possible to design surface wettability, including its hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity, using electrical discharge machining parameters. The static and dynamic behavior of liquids on surfaces relevant to contact mechanics was also determined.

Abstract:

Nanofluids seem to gradually become an alternative to traditional insulating liquids, such as transformer oil. In this paper, a short review of experimental results as well as of possible breakdown mechanisms and of some of the factors affecting the breakdown strength of the said fluids is conducted. Most of the reports suggest that the addition of nanoparticles in insulating liquids improves the breakdown strength. However, some reports that contradict the above are also to be found. In view of this, an outline of future research is discussed. This review does not encompass all possible effects, parameters and factors affecting nanofluids but it is solely concerned with breakdown strength.

Full text

Abstract:

In the manufacturing of power transformers, the impregnation of the solid electric insulation systems (cellulosic materials) with a dielectric liquid is a key issue for increasing the breakdown voltage of the insulation, and this prevents the apparition of partial discharges that deteriorate the insulation system. After introducing the problem, this article presents the theory of impregnation and later carries out a bibliographical review. Traditionally, mineral oils have been used as the dielectric liquid in electrical transformers, but for environmental (low biodegradability) and safety (low ignition temperature) reasons, since the mid-1980s, their substitution with other ester-type fluids has been studied. However, these liquids have some drawbacks, including their higher viscosity (especially at low temperatures). This property, among other aspects, makes the impregnation of cellulosic materials, which is part of the transformer manufacturing process, difficult, and therefore this tends to lengthen the manufacturing times of these machines.

Abstract:

This work is devoted to unbuffered and buffered water treatment by means of atmospheric pressure cold plasma of electrical discharges. The interest in the activation of these two liquids by plasma-induced, gaseous-phase chemistry ranges over a wide area of potential applications and interdisciplinary scientific fields. These include biology, medicine, sanitation, environmental restoration, agriculture, etc. Atmospheric pressure cold plasma is here produced in the form of a plasma jet and set into physical contact with the liquid specimens. The operational window of the treatment, in terms of plasma reactivity, is determined by means of UV-NIR optical emission spectroscopy, and the treated liquids are probed in a variety of respects. Evaporation rate, temperature, acidity and basicity, resistivity, and oxidation-reduction potential are measured as a function of the treatment time, either in-situ or ex-situ. The formation of principal reactive oxygen species, i.e., •OH, H2O2 and O2•−, with a plasma jet mean power lower than 400 mW, is eventually demonstrated and their concentration is measured with original methods borrowed from the biology field. The experimental results are linked to reports published over the last ten years, which are compiled in a brief but meaningful review.

Abstract:

Operational factors are known to affect the health of an in-service power transformer and to reduce the capabilities and readiness for energy transmission and distribution. Hence, it is important to understand the degradation rate and corresponding behavioral aspects of different insulating fluids under various fault conditions. In this article, the behavior of mineral oil and two environmentally friendly fluids (a synthetic and a natural ester) are reported under arcing, partial discharges, and thermal fault conditions. Arcing, partial discharges and thermal faults are simulated by 100 repeated breakdowns, top oil electrical discharge of 9 kV for five hours, and local hotspots respectively by using different laboratory-based setups. Some physicochemical properties along with the gassing tendency of fresh and aged insulating liquids are investigated after the different fault conditions. UV spectroscopy and turbidity measurements are used to report the degradation behavior and dissolved gas analysis is used to understand the gassing tendency. The changes in the degradation rate of oil under the influence of various faults and the corresponding dissolved gasses generated are analyzed. The fault gas generations are diagnosed by Duval’s triangle and pentagon methods for mineral and non-mineral oils. It is inferred that; the gassing tendency of the dielectric fluids evolve with respect to the degradation rate and is dependent on the intensity and type of fault.

Abstract:

Plasmas are common tools used for synthesis and modification of nanoparticles. All techniques aim at providing high quality, nanostructured materials with well-defined crystalline state and functional properties. The most consolidated cold plasma nanosynthesis methods are pulsed-DC physical/chemical vapour deposition (PVD/CVD), high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS), and pulsed cathodic arc. However, atmospheric arc discharge processes excel in production of stand-alone nanomaterials thanks to their high throughput and excellent quality and wide variety of obtained materials. Carbon nanostructures, like graphene and carbon nanotubes, core-shell nanoparticles, and transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers constitute some remarkable examples. Pulsed atmospheric arc nanosynthesis shows unique capabilities due to its flexibility and wide range of plasma parameters achievable by adjusting repetition frequency, pulse length, and peak values of pulse waveform. Here, we review the highlights of pulsed arc discharges applied on synthesis of low-dimensional materials, and the main contributions of this technique and other concurrent plasma methods are compared. The advantages of operating atmospheric pressure arc discharges in pulsed mode have enabled addressing instability issues via a more efficient arc control. Such milestones are discussed according to the intended research goal or application, namely: high-temperature tailoring of material nanostructure, control of deposition with a spatial resolution, nanosynthesis using liquids in plasma, and enhanced stabilization and power management of anodic arcs.

Abstract:

AbstractTitan, the largest satellite of Saturn, has a thick atmosphere containing nitrogen and methane. A variety of organic compounds have been detected in the atmosphere, most likely produced when atmospheric gases are exposed to ultraviolet light, electrons captured by the magnetosphere of Saturn and cosmic rays. The Cassini/Huygens probe showed that the average temperature on the surface of Titan is 93.7 K, with lakes of liquid ethane and methane. Sub-surface mixtures of liquid ammonia and water may also be present. We have synthesized complex organic compounds (tholins) by exposing a mixture of nitrogen and methane to plasma discharges, and investigated their interactions with several different liquids that simulate Titan's liquidosphere. We found that coacervates formed when tholins were extracted in non-polar solvents followed by exposure to aqueous ammonia solutions. The results suggest that coacervates can self-assemble in Titan's liquidosphere which have the potential to undergo further chemical evolution. Similar processes are likely to occur in the early evolution of habitable planets when tholin-like compounds undergo phase separation into microscopic structures dispersed in a suitable aqueous environment.
