“…In the search for new activation pathways to achieve greener chemical processes, plasma, more specifically dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), has recently received attention because of its ability to generate reactive species, such as electrons, radicals and metastables, at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Plasma chemistry has already found numerous applications in gas phase synthesis [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and in surface treatment, [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] but the generalisation of such processes to low vapour pressure chemicals requires a thorough investigation of plasmas generated at contact with liquids.…”
