Why a stream of plasma makes chemical reactions more efficient

Phys.org   -   Scientific News Websites

A whiff of plasma, when combined with a nanosized catalyst, can cause chemical reactions to proceed faster, more selectively, at lower temperatures, or at lower voltages than without plasma—and nobody really knows why.
