We developed a novel in situ ( i.e. inside plasma and during operation) IR dielectric barrier discharge cell allowing investigation of plasma catalysis in transmission mode, atmospheric pressure, flow conditions (WHSV ∼0–50 000 mL g −1 h −1 ), at relevant discharge voltages (∼0–50 kV) and frequencie...
