(DPP) W1-9 Plasma Physics and Technology | Physique et technologie des plasmas (DPP)

• Stephan Reuter (Polytechnique Montreal)

Description

Recent Advances in Plasma Physics and Technology (DPP) - Plasma physics and technology is set out to change how we live. For example, plasmas are used for dry reforming of CO2 and for generation of renewable fuels and green fertilizer. Plasmas can remove forever chemicals and plasma reactors for fusion based energy promise to be the source of green energy. The symposium will present recent advances in plasma physics research in plasma modelling, diagnostics, and reactor design of thermal and non-thermal plasmas.

390. Splitting of Carbon Dioxide in Nonthermal Plasmas: Influence of Discharge Geometry and Scalability Approaches

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Nonthermal plasmas are one option for a plasma-based conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) by using intermittent renewable energy for new power-to-X approaches [1]. This contribution will compare the CO2 splitting in barrier discharges and glidings arc. Barrier discharges are probably more robust and enable direct combination with catalysts while gliding arcs show a better energy efficiency.

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Plasmas are a (strongly) non-equilibrium medium and an efficient source of radicals, ions, and electrons. As such, they can strongly impact the structure and chemical composition of solid surfaces. Plasma sources are widely utilized to deposit new types of coatings using techniques like magnetron sputtering, plasma torches or pulsed laser deposition. In particular, magnetron sputtering is a...

392. Modification of ITO and FTO Electrodes Using Atmospheric Discharges

Prof. Jacopo Profili

This study explores the application of cold atmospheric pressure plasmas (CAPPs) for surface engineering of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) electrodes (ITO and FTO) in organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Optimizing the TCO/electron transport layer interface i s crucial for efficient charge transfer in OPVs. CAPP treatment offers a promising route to enhance TCO work function, and this work...

Oral not-in-competition (Graduate Student) / Orale non-compétitive (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

Bone, especially the spine, is a common site for metastasis from breast, lung, and prostate cancers, often requiring aggressive treatments like chemotherapy and invasive surgery. These surgeries usually involve removing both the tumor and surrounding healthy tissue, creating voids that need reconstruction. Cold plasma therapy, operating at temperatures below 40°C, offers a non-invasive...
