Popis: Electrode structure and electron energy effects on NO abatement were studied in two different structure DBD reactors. Final product analysis of NO abatement in coaxial cylinder dielectric barrier discharge (CC-DBD) and tubular multilayer dielectric barrier discharge (TM-DBD) reactors indicated that the electrode structure of TM-DBD was better under low O2 concentration conditions, but the result was opposite because the new NOx was produced in TM-DBD when O2 concentration was increasing. In addition, results of particle-in-cell with Monte Carlo collisions (PIC-MCC) simulation manifested that the largest and the average electron energy were 12.09 eV and 3.35 eV in TM-DBD reactor, respectively, while they were 5.25 eV and 2.96 eV in CC-DBD reactor, respectively. CC-DBD electrode structures are preferable for better NO abatement and no new NOx under oxygen-containing condition.
