PlaCOs – Plasma Carbon Splitting – Improving selectivity and energy efficiency in carbon dioxide splitting
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.
