Abstract

Energetic species produced by gas-phase plasmas that impinge on a liquid surface can initiate physicochemical processes at the gas/liquid interface and in the liquid phase. The interaction of these energetic species with the liquid phase can initiate chemical reaction pathways referred to as plasma-driven solution electrochemistry (PDSE). There are several processing opportunities and challenges presented by PDSE. These include the potential use of PDSE to activate chemical pathways that are difficult to activate with other approaches as well as the use of renewable electricity to generate plasmas that could make these liquid-phase chemical conversion processes more sustainable and environmentally friendly. In this review, we focus on PDSE as an approach for controlled and selective chemical conversion including the synthesis of nanoparticles and polymers with desired but currently uncontrollable or unattainable properties as the next step in the use of PDSE. The underpinning redox chemistry and transport processes of PDSE are reviewed as many PDSE-driven processes are transport-limited due to the many short-lived highly reactive species involved.
