Sumario:Discharge mode is an important parameter for ozone synthesis by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD). Currently, it is still challenging to stably generate glow discharge with oxygen at atmospheric pressure. In this paper, a DBD reactor with a layer of silver placed between the electrode and the dielectric layer (SL-DBD) was developed. Experimental results show that both streamer and glow corona discharge were stably generated under sinusoidal excitation with a 0.5 mm discharge gap in a parallel-plate DBD, due to the increased electric field strength in the discharge gap by the silver layer. It was also found that, in the SL-DBD reactor, glow corona discharge enhances the discharge strength by 50 times. The spectral peak of O at 777 nm in SL-DBD is increased to 28,800, compared with 18,389 in a reactor with a streamer only. The SL-DBD reactor produces ozone with a concentration of as high as 150 g/m<sup>3</sup> and shows good stability in an 8 h durability test.
