## 1 Introduction  
Human activities, like burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests, and using land in unsustainable ways, are broadly recognized as the leading causes of climate change. To tackle this, various strategies have been proposed, including soil restoration and capturing and recycling greenhouse gases [1]. The mitigation of climate change necessitates addressing the accumulation of methane and carbon dioxide, primary contributors to the greenhouse effect. Transforming these atmospheric pollutants into useful chemical feedstocks and energy sources is paramount for the establishment of an environmentally sound, carbon-neutral economic framework. Scientific inquiry has focused on diverse methodologies for the activation of methane, employing novel strategies. Among these, microwave-mediated methane transformation has emerged as a prominent area of investigation. This technique harnesses microwave radiation, wherein a catalyst either absorbs or deflects the electromagnetic energy, subsequently facilitating the transfer of this energy to methane molecules, thereby initiating chemical reactions [2, 3]. However, challenges such as excessive coke formation and inefficient energy transfer have been identified with this technique. Another promising technology is non-thermal plasma (NTP), which allows chemical reactions that are typically unfavorable at lower temperatures to occur. This is made possible by generating highly energetic electrons that can excite inert molecules,enabling chemical reactions to take place at much lower temperatures than those required in traditional thermal catalysis [4; 5]. The utilization of plasma-enhanced catalytic reactions has garnered significant interest, as it enables the interaction of highly reactive species, created via non-equilibrium electrical discharges, with the active regions of a catalyst. This interaction promotes the generation of desired products with enhanced effectiveness and selectivity. This cooperative effect between non-thermal plasma and the catalyst is especially notable in reactions such as the conversion of methane and carbon dioxide into synthesis gas (syngas) at ambient temperatures, a process known as dry reforming [6; 7; 8; 9]. Research findings indicate that the integration of a catalytic agent within a plasma-driven chemical transformation significantly enhances the preference for the formation of hydrocarbons containing two to four carbon atoms during methane processing. Likewise, investigations have demonstrated favorable outcomes in the direct, single-stage synthesis of liquid chemical compounds from the combined reaction of carbon dioxide and methane [10; 11]. A recent investigation conducted by [PERSON] et al. revealed that the inclusion of Fe/SiO\({}_{2}\) or Co/SiO\({}_{2}\) catalysts within a plasma-mediated co-reaction of carbon dioxide and methane significantly amplified the formation of oxygen-containing organic compounds. This catalytic intervention resulted in a notable enhancement of selectivity towards these products, achieving values up to 40% [12]. In an experiment conducted by [PERSON] et al., the introduction of a NiAl-LDH/NF catalyst into a plasma environment containing carbon dioxide and methane led to an 18% preference for alcohol production, with methanol constituting 12% of this fraction [13]. Their research also highlighted the role of oxygen deficiencies in facilitating methanol synthesis, while cobalt metal species were shown to favor the creation of ethanoic acid. Further studies using a P-CoMgAl/NF catalyst demonstrated an augmentation in alcohol selectivity, reaching approximately 15% [14]. In a separate investigation involving plasma-driven dry reforming of methane utilizing Ni/BN catalysts, [PERSON] et al. observed the presence of trace quantities of methanol, ethanoic acid, and ethanol within the resultant products [15].
