Abstract
Practical and energy-efficient carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion to value-added and fuel-graded products and transitioning from fossil fuels are promising ways to cope with climate change and to enable the circular economy. The carbon circular economy aims to capture, utilize, and minimize CO2 emissions as much as possible. To cope with the thermodynamic stability and highly endothermic nature of CO2 conversion via conventional thermochemical process, the potential application of non-thermal plasma (NTP) with the catalyst, i.e., the hybrid plasma catalysis process to achieve the synergistic effects, in most cases, seems to promise alternatives under non-equilibrium conditions. This review focuses on the NTP fundamentals and comparison with conventional technologies. A critical review has been conducted on the CO2 reduction with water (H2O), methane (CH4) reduction with CO2 to syngas (CO + H2), CO2 dissociation to carbon monoxide (CO), CO2 hydrogenation, CO2 conversion to organic acids, and one-step CO2-CH4 reforming to the liquid chemicals. Finally, future challenges are discussed comprehensively, indicating that plasma catalysis has immense investigative areas.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:61623-61635.

Abstract
In this paper, Pd/C catalysts are synthesized via Ar glow-discharge plasma reduction using activated carbon as the support and Pd(acac)2, Pd(NO3)2, K2PdCl4, and H2PdCl4 as the Pd precursors, and their catalytic performances are investigated by hydrogen production from dodecahydro-N-ethylcarbazole (H12-NEC). Pd/C-A, prepared from Pd(acac)2, which has the smallest palladium nanoparticles (1.7 nm), the highest dispersion (34%) and no residue of inorganic ions, exhibits the best catalytic activity with a hydrogen release of 5.28 wt.%, which is 2.2 times that of Pd/C-H. The order of the apparent activation energies of the prepared Pd/C catalysts, according to the kinetics of the H12-NEC dehydrogenation reaction, is as follows: Pd/C-A ≈ Pd/C-N < Pd/C-K < Pd/C-H. When Pd(acac)2 with a large ligand acts as a cation Pd precursor, the effect of coulombic attraction to Pd2+ during the plasma reduction process makes it difficult for Pd nanoparticles (NPs) to migrate, which leads to the formation of ultrafine Pd NPs.

Abstract
Supported metal nanoparticles with small size and high dispersion can improve the performance of heterogeneous catalysts. To prepare graphene-supported Pd catalysts, graphene and PdCl2 were used as support and Pd precursors, respectively. Pd/G-P and Pd/G-H catalysts were prepared by cold plasma and conventional thermal reduction, respectively, for the catalytic reduction of p-nitrophenol (4-NP). The reaction followed quasi-first-order kinetics, and the apparent rate constant of Pd/G-P and Pd/G-H was 0.0111 and 0.0042 s−1, respectively. The graphene support was exfoliated by thermal reduction and cold plasma, which benefits the 4-NP adsorption. Pd/G-P presented a higher performance because cold plasma promoted the migration of Pd species to the support outer surface. The Pd/C atomic ratio for Pd/G-P and Pd/G-H was 0.014 and 0.010, respectively. In addition, the Pd nanoparticles in Pd/G-P were smaller than those in Pd/G-H, which was beneficial for the catalytic reduction. The Pd/G-P sample presented abundant oxygen-containing functional groups, which anchored the metal nanoparticles and enhanced the metal-support interaction. This was further confirmed by the shift in the binding energy to a high value for Pd3d in Pd/G-P. The cold plasma method operated under atmospheric pressure is effective for the preparation of Pd/G catalysts with enhanced catalytic activity for 4-NP reduction.

Abstract
Hydrogen is the most effective and sustainable carrier of clean energy, and liquid-phase hydrogen storage materials with high hydrogen content, reversibility and good dehydrogenation kinetics are promising in view of "hydrogen economy". Efficient, low-cost, safe and selective hydrogen generation from chemical storage materials remains challenging, however. In this Review article, an overview of the recent achievements is provided, addressing the topic of nanocatalysis of hydrogen production from liquid-phase hydrogen storage materials including metal-boron hydrides, borane-nitrogen compounds, and liquid organic hydrides. The state-of-the-art catalysts range from high-performance nanocatalysts based on noble and non-noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) to emerging single-atom catalysts. Key aspects that are discussed include insights into the dehydrogenation mechanisms, regenerations from the spent liquid chemical hydrides, and tandem reactions using the in situ generated hydrogen. Finally, challenges, perspectives, and research directions for this area are envisaged.

“Storage-Discharge” Ethanol Cold Plasma for Synthesizing High Performance Pd/Al2O3 Catalysts. Catalysts 2020.

Abstract
Atmospheric pressure cold plasma is an environmentally friendly and novel method to synthesize supported metal catalysts, which usually uses active hydrogen species to reduce metal ions. Ethanol is a hydrogen-rich renewable liquid hydrogen source, and it is more convenient to store and transport than H2. In this study, a “storage-discharge” ethanol cold plasma was used to prepare Pd/Al2O3-EP catalysts, and the obtained catalysts are used for CO oxidation. The complete oxidation of CO temperature (T100) over Pd/Al2O3-EP was 145 °C, which was comparable to the performance of Pd/Al2O3-HP that was synthesized by atmospheric pressure hydrogen cold plasma. Pd/Al2O3-EP-C obtained by calcining Pd/Al2O3-EP at 450 °C for 2 h in air atmosphere in order to remove residual carbon species showed much higher CO oxidation activity, and T100 was 130 °C. The Pd/Al2O3 catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron diffraction (XPS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the structure-performance relationship was analyzed. The results indicate that the “storage-discharge” ethanol cold plasma can reduce the Pd precursor ions into metallic Pd state, and the dissociation of ethanol forms lots of highly active chemisorbed oxygen species, which can enhance the performance of Pd/Al2O3-EP for CO oxidation. In contrast, Pd/Al2O3-EP-C shows much higher CO oxidation activity, which is mainly attributed to the removal of the residual carbon species, and the exposure of more Pd active sites and chemisorbed oxygen species. The “storage-discharge” ethanol cold plasma is a safe and efficient novel method for synthesizing supported Pd catalysts, and it has important potential for the preparation and application of supported metal catalysts.

Abstract
Cotton-fabric-supported silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have aroused great attention due to their remarkable physical and chemical properties and excellent broad-spectrum antibacterial performance.In this work, a surface dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma method is developed and employed to prepare cotton fabric supported Ag NPs (Ag/cotton) for the first time. UV-Vis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results confirm the formation of Ag NPs. TEM images show that the size of Ag NPs is in the range 4.8-5.3 nm. Heat-sensitive cotton fabrics are not destroyed by surface DBD plasma according to FTIR and XRDresults. Wash fastness of the Ag/cotton samples is investigated using ultrasonic treatment for 30 min and it is shown that the Ag NPs possess good adhesion to the cotton fabric according to UV-Vis spectra. Antibacterial activity of the Ag/cotton samples shows that obvious bacteriostasis loops are observed around the samples with the appearance of both Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis). The average diameter of the bacteriostasis loops against both E. coli and B. subtilis becomes larger with an increasing silver loading amount.This work provides a universal, fast, simple, and environmentally-friendly cold plasma method for synthesizing Ag NPs on heat-sensitive materials at atmospheric pressure.
