This project aims to develop energy efficient methods for CO₂ splitting and to enable the operation of helicon discharges at higher pressures. Within this project, the behavior of helicon discharges in argon, CO₂, and argon-CO₂ mixtures at higher pressures as well as the efficiency of CO₂ splitting as a function of pressure will be studied. To enable operation at higher pressures new antennas will be developed.

The project is funded as part of the program “Promotion of application-oriented excellence research projects in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania” with funds from the European Regional Development Fund within the 2021-2027 program.
