Abstract: Provided are a surface coupling induced ionization method, and a plasma device. The method includes the following steps: (1) feeding a first electromagnetic wave beam to a material via a free space or waveguide to excite surface plasma waves; where target molecules to be ionized are introduced to a surface of the material, and electrons of the target molecules are coupled with surface plasmons on the material under interaction control to induce the ionization of the target molecules; (2) feeding second and subsequent electromagnetic wave beams to an ionization area of the target molecules on the surface of the material synchronously via the free space or waveguide, such that the ionized target molecules absorb the electromagnetic waves to improve the degree of ionization of the target molecules; and (3) releasing the target molecules in the form of bulk phase plasma to realize surface coupling induced ionization.

Abstract: Provided are an adjustable continuous-flow plasma disinfection and sterilization method and a disinfection and sterilization device. The adjustable continuous-flow plasma disinfection and sterilization method includes: (1) exciting atmospheric-pressure plasmas in a disinfection and sterilization chamber featuring an adjustable inlet-outlet pressure difference; (2) adjusting the inlet-outlet pressure difference of the disinfection and sterilization chamber after the atmospheric-pressure plasmas become stable, so as to adjust the plasma density in the chamber; (3) continuously feeding microorganism carriers to be disinfected and sterilized into the disinfection and sterilization chamber for disinfection or sterilization; and (4) continuously discharging the carriers out of the disinfection and sterilization chamber to complete disinfection or sterilization. The method allows continuous work under atmospheric pressure, and can disinfect or sterilize closed, semi-open or open spaces.
