Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Principle

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Principle

Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is the most widely used plasma source in atomic emission spectroscopy (AES), also known as Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The ICP source, or torch, consists of three concentric quartz tubes with argon gas flowing through them. A spark from a Tesla coil initiates the ionization of argon, generating a high-temperature plasma.
The ions and electrons produced interact with the fluctuating magnetic field created by a water-cooled...

Background:

Atmospheric-pressure plasmas offer high temperatures for material synthesis.
Electrode ablation in conventional plasmas compromises material purity.
Existing methods face limitations in synthesizing pure materials efficiently.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce an electrode-less atmospheric-pressure microwave plasma (AMP) for pure material synthesis.

Synthesis experiments for silicon nanoparticles, graphene, and core-shell structures.

Main Results:

AMP achieved a uniform ultrahigh temperature of 9,000 K.
The plasma exhibited a large volume (10^2-10^4 cm^3) and millisecond response time.
Efficient synthesis of pure silicon nanoparticles, graphene, and graphene@Si-Fe core-shell nanoparticles was achieved within milliseconds with controlled size.

Conclusions:

The electrode-less AMP overcomes limitations of conventional plasmas for pure material synthesis.
The proposed 'heat impulse' metric can evaluate plasma characteristics for material synthesis.
AMP is a promising, compact, cost-effective, and eco-friendly technology for mass production of pure nanomaterials.
