Effect of water vapor on a CH4-H2 discharge plasma

The effects on a CH4 -H2 discharge plasma due to the addition of water vapor to the feed gas have been studied. Surprisingly it is found that the concentrations of most positive and negative hydrocarbon ions in the discharge are substantially increased. Possible mechanisms for the increase are prese...
