has attracted significant attention in recent years for its potential in green energy conversion. By generating high-energy electrons
free radicals
and other reactive species
the discharge enables a range of high-energy chemical reactions under ambient conditions. This review provides an overview of the fundamental principles
reactor configurations
and key influencing factors of gas-liquid discharge
with a particular focus on its applications in CO2 conversion
nitrogen fixation
and biomass conversion. In CO2 conversion
the discharge enables the efficient production of value-added products such as carbon monoxide and organic acids. In nitrogen fixation
plasma activation facilitates nitrogen dissociation and promotes the synthesis of ammonia and nitrates. In biomass conversion
the discharge has been applied to pretreatment
hydrogen production
and liquefaction
demonstrating strong potential for resource utilization and chemical upgrading. The review also discusses current challenges in scaling up the technology and outlines future directions in energy chemistry and sustainable development.
