Experimental investigation of a ns-pulsed argon plasma jet for the fast desorption of weakly volatile organic compounds deposited on glass substrates at variable electric potential

“…This difference is attributed to the following reasons: i) different voltage pulse features, ii) use of a grounded dielectric instead of a metallic target and iii) different distance of targets from the tube's nozzle, between our work and [25]. According to [42], the discharge transitions to the transient glow mode when the streamer bridges the gap and the current rises sharply. This should be also the case under our experimental conditions.…”

“…~0.45 A in figure 2(b)). However, when the distance of the target and its thickness were decreased (to 9 mm and 50.8 μm, respectively) in [42], the peak current increased up to ~2.5 and ~3.5 A, respectively. The measured current at 9 mm for the thicker plate in [42] is 5.5 times higher than in our case.…”

“…This should be also the case under our experimental conditions. Indeed, in [42], where a He (95%) / Ar (5%) APPJ impinging on a grounded Teflon film (254 μm thickness) was studied, for a distance of 20 mm between the target and the tube's nozzle, the measured current reached a peak value of ~0.4 A, which is very close to the measured maximum amplitude of IPlate in our case (i.e. ~0.45 A in figure 2(b)).…”

Transparent Polyaniline Thin Film Synthesized Using a Low-Voltage-Driven Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Reactor

“…In general, APPJs have a simple structure consisting of a gas-feeding tube and electrodes. To prevent the unwanted transition of glow to arc discharge, a dielectric barrier that can easily control the current during discharge is commonly used, thus resulting in AC discharge [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]. When generating a DC discharge, it is common to expose the powered electrode to the discharge space, include a proper ballast resistor in the circuit to control the current, and ground the counter electrode [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”

In-Situ Iodine Doping Characteristics of Conductive Polyaniline Film Polymerized by Low-Voltage-Driven Atmospheric Pressure Plasma

“…In the typical APPJ configuration, the discharge gas flows through a tube and a high voltage is applied to an electrode connected to the tube for electrical breakdown [ 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 ]. The newly developed AP plasma reactor is based on this configuration and consists of the four components described in Section 2.1 .…”
