Outline of Final Research Achievements

Micro hydrogen production apparatus using nanosecond pulsed discharge plasma has developed for establish a sustainable hydrogen production method. In this research, effects of applied pulsed voltage and water conditions on the hydrogen characteristics are investigated. As results of hydrogen production and voltage and current characteristics, it is shown that streamer discharges generated between gas-liquid play an important role for the hydrogen production characteristic.
