Couverture de l’ouvrage Plasma Catalysis

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the field of plasma catalysis, regarded as a promising alternative to thermal processes for energy and environmental applications. It bridges the gap between the plasma and catalysis research communities, covering both the fundamentals of plasma catalysis and its application in environmental and energy research.

The first section of the book offers a broad introduction to plasma catalysis, covering plasma-catalyst systems, interactions, and modeling. The core of the book then focuses on different applications, describing a wide range of plasma-catalytic processes in catalyst synthesis, environmental clean-up, greenhouse gas conversion and synthesis of materials for energy applications. Chapters cover topics ranging from removal of NOx and VOCs to conversion of methane, carbon dioxide and the reforming of ethanol and methanol.

Written by a group of world-leading researchers active in the field, the book forms a valuable resource for scientists, engineers and students with different research backgrounds including plasma physics, plasma chemistry, catalysis, energy, environmental engineering, electrical engineering and material engineering.

Dr. Xin Tu received PhD in Physics at CORIA CNRS UMR 6614 (Université de Rouen), France and PhD in Thermal Engineering at Zhejiang University, China in 2007. He was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium) and the University of Manchester (UK). Dr. Tu was appointed as a Lecturer with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics at the University of Liverpool in 2012, and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2015 and Reader in 2017. Dr. Tu has been working for many years on interdisciplinary research at the interface of plasma science and chemical engineering directed towards environmental clean-up, synthesis of fuels and chemicals, nuclear decommissioning, energy conversion and storage. Significant efforts have been devoted to plasma-catalysis where the combination of non-thermal plasma and catalysis has been used as a promising process for the oxidation of gas pollutants (e.g. VOCs and PAHs) and for the conversion of carbon sources (e.g. CH4, CO2, tars and hydrocarbon oils) into value-added synthetic fuels and platform chemicals such as hydrogen, hydrocarbons, carbon nanomaterials and liquid fuels and chemicals. Dr. Tu is the author of 1 book chapter and over 80 peer-reviewed papers. Dr. Tu has received a prestigious B. Eliasson Award from the International Symposium on Plasmas for Catalysts and Energy Materials (ISPCEM) to recognise his significant contributions to plasma-catalysis with emphasis on the fundamental understanding of the synergy of plasma-catalysis in 2014. He has been awarded a Newton Advanced Fellowship by the Royal Society, which is a prestigious award to recognise his international leadership in his area of research. 

Christopher Whitehead received a BSc in Chemical Physics at the University of Edinburgh in 1969 and a PhD at the University of Cambridge in 1972. He then held fellowships at Cambridge and Columbia Universities. He was appointed to the Chemistry Depa
