Abstract
Hydroperoxyl () is detected in the effluent of an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (PJ) by cavity ring-down absorption spectroscopy. Laser radiation at is used to determine concentrations directly in the plasma effluent at atmospheric pressure as well as indirectly after sampling through a pinhole and expanding to . To unravel the reaction kinetics, the argon feed gas is humidified and the PJ is equipped with a gas curtain device that controls the surrounding atmosphere. Varying the curtain gas composition from pure nitrogen to pure oxygen leads to a five to six-fold increase in concentrations towards higher oxygen concentrations. A reaction kinetics model considering near-field and far-field reactions describes the reaction pathways that determine the hydroperoxyl concentration and is in good agreement with the measurements at both low and atmospheric pressure.
