摘要：The synergy between catalyst and plasma has dramatically improved the efficiency of some plasma chemical processes. In this paper, the role of the electronically excited state NH3 (NH3*) in the synergy of a DBD plasma and a Fe-based catalyst for NH3 decomposition has been studied by in situ optical emission spectra diagnostics, as well as adsorption and desorption experiments. Results reveal that, the NH3* species could adsorb on the catalyst surface with higher adsorption capacity and stronger strength in comparison with ground-state NH3. The ammonia conversion increased by nearly 40% due to the contribution of NH3* species. Here, the acceleration of the surface adsorption step with excited reactants is proved to be another role of plasma in synergy with heterogeneous catalyst.
