Catalytic oxidation of small organic molecules by cold plasma in solution in the presence of molecular iron complexes†
Abstract The plasma-mediated decomposition of volatile organic compounds has previously been investigated in the gas phase with metal oxides as heterogeneous catalysts. While the reactive species in plasma itself are well investigated, very little is known about the influence of metal catalysts in s...
