Research progress in the study of atmospheric pressure glow barrier discharge

Atmospheric pressure glow barrier discharge (APGBD) can operate at high pressure, and so vacuum device is not necessary. Furthermore, the produced plasma by APGBD has moderate electron temperature and density besides good uniformity. Therefore, APGBD has extensive potential applications in industry and has been becoming a hot issue in the research of low temperature plasma. In this paper, the main problems in the study of atmospheric pressure glow discharge generated by dielectric barrier discharge, including the experimental setup, judging criterion, discharging conditions, physical mechanisms, and parameter diagnoses, are discussed, and further research prospects of APGBD are proposed.
