A temperature-controlled and pressure-controlled coaxial dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor was developed to decouple the thermal and kinetic effects of radio frequency (RF) discharge on methane conversion
and further to compare the kinetic behaviors of the mechanistically similar reactions of methane conversion with O
2
and CO
2
additives. A kinetic mechanism for RF plasma assisted methane conversion was assembled. The formation of products in the RF plasma reactor was measured with Gas Chromatography (GC-TCD) and the data were used to validate the kinetic model. The experimental and computational results showed the different kinetic roles of carbon dioxide and oxygen additives in methane conversion
due to the different dissociation and ionization energy of the two additive gases
as well as the thus produced electron energy distribution function (EEDF). Fuel oxidation by plasma generated O

in partial oxidation of methane was observed essential for methane consumption
which resulted in
an increase in methane conversion rate

was by far the easier to produce the syngas as well as C
