2. Chemical nature of air plasma at atmospheric pressure

2.1 Physico-chemical description

As previously mentioned, plasma is initiated by an electronic avalanche of highly energetic electrons. Their energy can exceed 10 eV, corresponding to a thermodynamic temperature in excess of 100,000 K ( ). These "hot" electrons are capable of transferring part of their energy to the gas molecules via inelastic collisions, leading to the formation of ions,...
