The dynamics and transport of ozone in the gas and liquid phase generated by air surface microdischarge plasma at atmospheric pressure

This contribution focuses on the spatial‐temporal behavior and reactive pathways of O 3 produced by a surface air microdischarge in the gas and liquid phase using ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy. The findings demonstrate that mode transition from ozone to nitrogen oxide over time is observed at a constant input power higher than ~0.60 W/cm 2 . Due to the long‐lived characteristic and ionic wind, the perpendicular distribution of O 3 is almost uniform. The maximum penetration depth is around 5 mm, and the gas–liquid mass transfer efficiency is approximately 0.4‱ at a depth of 1 mm, when the treatment time is 10 min. The mass transfer of O 3 between gas and liquid phases is dominated by the liquid convention induced by ionic wind.
