  • REACTIONS USING FACILITATORS AND MODERATORS
    Publication number: 20240282470
    Abstract: A method implements reactions using facilitators and moderators. The method includes filling a reaction vessel with a moderator gas and a facilitator gas. The method further includes triggering a spark in the reaction vessel at a spark gap between a first electrode and a second electrode to generate a product from the facilitator gas and a reactant. The method includes retrieving the product from the reaction vessel through an opening of the reaction vessel.
