239th ECS Meeting with IMCS Topic Close-up: Plasma Electrochemistry and Catalysis

Symposium focus: This symposium invites papers dealing with the fundamental uses of plasma discharges in a variety of applications such as electrochemistry and catalysis. Plasma electrochemistry is becoming an interesting subject with several possibilities in using plasma discharges as electrodes in contact with liquid electrolytes. Plasma electrochemistry is being exploited for nanomaterials processing and also for helping the electrochemical processing of chemicals and fuels. Similarly, plasmas or excited gas phase is also being pursued synergistically with catalysis. Plasma catalysis and plasma electrochemistry are emerging multidisciplinary fields with converging fields of the gas-solid interface, catalysis, plasma science, and nanomaterials. Papers of interest deal with various aspects of plasma chemistry, plasma-solid and plasma-electrolyte interface dynamics and applications in CO₂ reduction, methane reforming, ammonia formation, and other chemical processing applications. Papers dealing with fundamental concepts involved plasma chemistry and plasma electrochemistry, atmospheric plasma discharges, scale-up studies and their use in nanomaterials processing, are also of interest.
