Plasma Chemistry in a Humid AR Radiofrequency (RF) Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet

Atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJs) operated in mixtures of noble gas and water vapor have attracted a lot of attention due to their potential applications in water treatment and biomedicine. The importance of plasma-produced H and OH radicals, as well as H 2 O 2 , has been demonstrated in previous studies. To control the density of desired reactive species, a more detailed picture of the rich chemistry in water vapor plasmas is needed. Unfortunately, validated numerical models of plasma chemistry in water vapor containing plasmas remain limited.
