Science Challenges in Low Temperature Plasma Science and Engineering: Enabling a Future Based on Electricity through Non-Equilibrium Plasma Chemistry
Abstract
The workshop, Science Challenges in Low Temperature Plasma Science and Engineering: Enabling a Future Based on Electricity through Non-Equilibrium Plasma Chemistry, was held at the National Science Foundation (NSF) in Arlington, VA on August 22-23, 2016. The purpose of the workshop was to develop a roadmap for the future reflecting the highest impact, highest return scientific challenges facing the field of low temperature plasmas (LTPs) in the context of controlling chemical reactivity for a sustainable future. Successfully meeting these challenges will advance the knowledge base required for exploiting plasma to achieve the goal of selectively transforming renewable electrical power into products and processes that will fuel those societies. The workshop goals included: Summarizing the current state-of-the-art in plasma-activated processes; Describing the role of low temperature plasmas in facilitating the vision of a future based on renewable resources; Delineating and prioritizing the major scientific issues in LTPs that must be addressed to achieve that vision; and Describing a role for NSF and other agencies in addressing these scientific challenges.
