We report a method for the selective chemisorption of oxygen and nitrogen in sealed cavities utilizing microdischarges between thin-film Ti electrodes. The method is used to remove contaminating air from both inert and organic gas environments, reducing the nitrogen and oxygen concentrations by factors of 50 and 16, respectively. A microchip-based optical emission spectroscopic sensor is used t...

A practical and long-term usable air-cleaner based on the synergy of photocatalysis and plasma treatments has been developed. A field test of the air-cleaner was carried out in an office smoking room. The results were compared to previously reported laboratory test results. Even after a treatment of 12,000 cigarettes-worth of tobacco smoke, the air-cleaner maintained high-level air-purification...

The catalytic purification of automobile exhaust gases (CO, NOx and hydrocarbons) is one of the most practiced conversion processes used to lower the emissions and to reduce the air pollution. Nevertheless, the good performance of exhaust gas purification catalysts often requires the high consumption of noble metals such as platinum. Here we report that the Brønsted acid sites on the external s...
