Abstract

In this paper we reported that low temperature plasma may reverse the direction of a chemical reaction. The thermodynamically forbidden reaction between H2 and AlCl3 was able to take place with the assistance of low temperature plasma, yielding metal Al. The plasma chemistry of the reaction was investigated by optical emission spectroscopy, which suggested that the dissociation of H2 and AlCl3 molecules by plasma led the reaction to a ...
