Plasma medicine has become an emerging field in medical sciences since cold plasma has demonstrated significant antibacterial properties in vitro and in vivo. However, systematic antimicrobial plasma testing against bacteria, fungi, and parasites is still lacking. Chronic wounds, fungal skin and nail infections, and colonization with multidrug-resistant pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus (MRS...

The significance of shield gases on atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) propagation over a horizontal dielectric surface using various diagnostic methods has been investigated. obtained results imply that adding nitrogen as gas only an impact the N2 reactive species generation, mainly close to effluent while argon can boost optical emission intensity all excited species, especially at distan...

A novel route to fabricate Cu2O/CuO heterojunction electrodes using an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) is demonstrated. This process promotes favourable band alignment and produces nanoscale CuO surface features from Cu2O with low density of interfacial defects. electrode can operate without any transparent current collector, showing remarkable currents stability towards oxygen evolution...

Cupric oxide (CuO) thin film has found widespread application as a low-cost, earth-abundant material for electro and photo catalytic applications. High surface wettability is key factor to achieve enhanced efficiency in these Here, we report fast environment friendly route fabricate super hydrophilic CuO films using low power (5–10 W) atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ). With APPJ treatment ...

Tap water, demineralized water and liquid fertilizer have been activated using an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) to investigate their benefits for the germination rate and stem elongation rate of lentils from Puy-en-Velay (France). By plasma-activating tap water, we have obtained germination rates as high as 80% (instead of 30% with tap water). Also, higher stem elongation rates and fin...
