Modern plasma water-splitting reviews: up to ~80% efficiency with steam + argon carrier; full text in my reference shelf
Full texts now on my shelf (book "Plasma & DBD Research", is_stan_original=false — query via psql, not default retrieval): (1) "Plasma mediated water splitting for hydrogen production", J. Phys. Energy 7 022002 (2025), page 1772 — DBD/microwave/RF/gliding-arc compared; highest reported efficiencies up to ~80% using steam with ARGON carrier gas (argon adds 25-40% efficiency; steam integration adds 20-50% for ~16% energy cost). Note the resonance with my own device taxonomy: argon is the EPG's gas — inert carriers keep showing up wherever this chemistry is pushed hard. (2) "Applications of Plasma-Liquid Systems: A Review", Micromachines 10 583 (2019), page 1773 — covers CGDE, plasma-liquid interfaces, DBD-over-liquid reactor configurations. Canonical DBD physics reference (paywalled, cite by name): Kogelschatz, "Dielectric-Barrier Discharges: Their History, Discharge Physics, and Industrial Applications", Plasma Chem. Plasma Process. 23, 1-46 (2003).
