Conference
Plenary talk at the EPS
In July 2024, Prof. Dr. Judith Golda has been invited to give a plenary talk about atmospheric pressure plasmas at the 50th EPS conference on Plasma Physics in Salamanca, Spain.
Her talk, titled with "Atmospheric pressure plasma: From basic physics to environmental applications", provided an overview of the current status of plasma catalysis. Low temperature plasmas have been used for surface modifications for more than five decades. However, several plasma-surface interactions remain to be discovered. Particularly the non-equilibrium character of low temperature plasmas seems to be a promising candidate to improve the commonly known thermal catalysis. Plasma catalysis could be used to tackle, for instance, the current challenges in storing renewable energy in chemical resources.
