Abstract:
Devices and methods for generating a plasma in a liquid are provided. A low-dielectric material can be placed in contact with the liquid to form an interface a distance from an anode. A voltage can be applied across the anode and a cathode submerged in the liquid to produce the plasma. A variety of devices are provided, including for continuous operation. The devices and methods can be used to generate a plasma in a variety of liquids, for example for water treatment, hydrocarbon reformation, or synthesis of nanomaterial.

Claim (Index 44):
A method of nanomaterial synthesis, comprising:\n providing a container, wherein\n the container is configured to hold a plurality of immiscible dielectric liquids, wherein the plurality of dielectric liquids comprises a first liquid and a second liquid, wherein the first liquid and the second liquid are immiscible \n forming an interface between the first liquid and the second liquid;\n the container comprises one or more anode and cathode pairs, wherein the one or more anode and cathode pairs respectively are immersed in the plurality of immiscible dielectric liquids, an anode of a anode and cathode pair immersed on a side of the interface opposite the cathode, wherein the one or more anode and cathode pairs are in electric communication with a power source; \n \n generating a plasma at the interface to create an interface layer by applying a high voltage to the anode(s) of the one or more anode and cathode pairs with the power source for a first period of time; allowing the container to rest for a second period of time, during which an interface layer forms at the interface; isolating the interface layer from the container; drying the interface layer at a temperature for a third period of time thereby forming the nanomaterial.
