Plasma can exist in various forms due to discharge modes created in different ways, resulting in a wide range of applications in physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine. When plasma in contact with materials generates various reactive species and charged particles, those are highly reactive agents against many matters, and their processes are incredibly complex. In recent years, plasma applications have increased tremendously from medicine to agriculture.
The mechanism of non-thermal plasma action in medicine and agriculture is still unknown. Additionally, the use of thermal and non-thermal plasma to achieve the sustainability goal is still very far away due to differences in efficiency and energy consumption, as compared to the conventional systems. Therefore, the aim of this Research Topic is to collect Original Research and Review articles on the most recent plasma applications and elucidate the characteristics of plasma and mechanisms of plasma-induced methods. The Research Topic will have a strong focus on the interactions of plasma generated species with organic and inorganic materials.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following list of plasma applications:
• Agricultural/Food processing
• Plasma processing
• Plasma diagnostics in gas and liquid phase
• CO2 conversion and N2 fixation with and without catalyst
• Mechanism of non-thermal plasma for Biomedical applications
• Organic and inorganic contaminants removal from water
