报告题目：Plasma-catalysis: A promising solution for the synthesis of fuels and chemicals

报告摘要: The rapid exhaustion of fossil fuel reserves and the adverse effects of climate change caused by increasing global energy demands have attracted great attention and pose serious threats to humankind. The emergence of new energy technologies is crucial and essential to reduce the negative effects of climate change and to ensure global energy security based on sustainable and renewable energy sources.

Recently, the combination of non-thermal plasma and heterogeneous catalysis (known as plasma-catalysis, or plasma-enhanced catalysis) has been regarded as a promising solution for the activation of inert molecules with strong chemical bonds (e.g. CH₄ and CO₂) into value-added fuels and chemicals (e.g. hydrogen and liquid fuels) at low temperatures. The coupling of plasma and catalysts has great potential to generate a synergistic effect, which can activate the catalysts at low temperatures and improve the activity and stability of the catalysts, resulting in the remarkable enhancement of reactant conversion, selectivity and yield of end-products, as well as the energy efficiency of the process. The idea of plasma-catalysis has also been extended to the synthesis, preparation and modification of catalysts to improve the activity and stability of the catalysts.

In this talk, we will show the use of plasma-catalysis as a novel low temperature process for the synthesis of synthetic fuels and platform chemicals: i) one-step activation of methane into liquid fuels and chemicals at ambient conditions; ii) activation of CO₂ to value-added fuels and chemicals; iii) reforming of tars from biomass gasification.
