This side view taken of an optical window in NETL’s Morgantown, West Virginia Reaction Analysis & Chemical Transformation facility shows microwave-induced plasma forming from hydrogen in argon gas. NETL is actively researching microwave-induced plasma for various energy and chemical applications. This includes using microwave plasma to enhance reactions in chemical synthesis, improve hydrogen generation from plastics, and potentially create sustainable fuels. NETL's work also involves studying the fundamental interactions between microwave fields and materials to optimize these processes.
