Microplasmas for Advanced Materials and Devices

Abstract

DavideMariotti is a Professor of Plasma Science and Nanoscale Engineering with Ulster University in UK. He has previously worked internationally in Japan and USA and both in academic and industry. His research encompasses the design and development of innovative plasma-based processes to explore new materials opportunities. Concurrently to a strong application focus in photovoltaics and more broadly in energy applications, his research is also strongly driven by scientific discovery. Kostya (Ken) Ostrikov is aProfessor with Queensland University of Technology, Australia, a Founding Leader of the CSIRO-QUT Joint Sustainable Processes and Devices Laboratory, and Academician of the Academy of Europe and the European Academy of Sciences. His research focuses on nanoscale control of energy and matter contributes to the solution of the grand challenge of directing energy and matter at nanoscales, to develop renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies for a sustainable future.is made on synergistic, complementary features of the plasmas that make them a versatile tool in materials-related applications.We therefore examine the recent progress in microplasmabased synthesis of advanced nanomaterials, highlight the key features of microplasmas, and discuss salient examples of Adv.

Assembling Nano–Microarchitecture for Electromagnetic Absorbers and Smart Devices

“…They enable connecting the world together, with unexpected surprising convenience ( Figure ). [ 1–35 ] In recent years, 3D nano–micro architectures are emerging. At the same time, new technologies, new effects, new mechanisms, new materials, and new structures are bringing limitless vitalities to smart devices, and driving them towards integration, diversification, miniaturization, high performance, precision, and so on.…”

Surfactant-free synthesis of copper nanoparticles and gas phase integration in CNT-composite materials

“…23 Microplasma-based processes can be considered a generalized approach for the synthesis of a wide range of metal and metal oxides nanoparticles. [24][25][26][27][28][29] However, in the specific case of metallic Cu-NPs, a detailed analysis of mean size, size distribution and of the chemical composition (e.g. degree of oxidation) of NPs produced by microplasmas is still missing.…”

Plasma‐assisted synthesis and deposition of molybdenum oxide nanoparticles on polyethylene terephthalate for photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B

“…The use of plasma discharges in contact with liquids for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles and their oxides has been considered in a number of reviews. [2][3][4][5] In References [6,7], a direct current (DC) discharge with a liquid electrode and an electrode located above the solution surface was used. Such a method of implementing the plasma-solution system is notable for its simple organization and control, and the ability to work at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature.…”
