Article Abstract
This review presents experimental studies of phenomena occurring in droplets of various liquids under the effect of nanosecond spark discharges. Inorganic liquids and liquids of biological origin are considered here. Attention is payed to hydrodynamic and physico-chemical phenomena in droplets, including a movement of sessile droplets on a substrate under the effect of the discharges, internal flows in droplets (excited by the discharges), plasma capillary phenomena, features of the droplets drying under the effect of the discharges, traces (patterns) left by the droplets, exposed to the discharges, on the substrates etc.

The environmental and energy challenges associated with the Haber-Bosch nitrogen fixation process present significant ecological concerns. In contrast, low-temperature plasma technology has emerged as a highly promising alternative for nitrogen fixation, capable of converting air to NO and producing NO in the liquid phase using only electrical energy. In this study, nanosecond pulsed power is employed to drive an underwater microporous coaxial reactor, generating bubble spark discharges for the efficient synthesis of NO in water.

An optically accessible prechamber-equipped constant volume combustion chamber (CVCC) has been designed and installed at the University of Minnesota to investigate turbulent jet ignition and reacting flows. The CVCC features an optically accessible windowed prechamber, allowing the extensive study of the combustion physics inside the prechamber. The prechamber is also modular, allowing multiple internal geometries and nozzle configurations.

Liquid fertilizers, particularly when integrated with precision irrigation systems, offer a more efficient and sustainable alternative to traditional solid nitrogen fertilizers. The industrial production of ammonium nitrate (NHNO) is environmentally detrimental due to its reliance on fossil fuels. This study introduces an innovative air-to-NOx-to-NHNO pathway for synthesizing liquid nitrogen fertilizer.

In this manuscript, we report on the synthesis of a polynitrogen material from a potassium azide precursor using nanosecond-pulsed spark discharge plasma in liquid nitrogen. The polynitrogen material was characterized using Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and identified as KN, with planar N rings and K- ions that have P6/mmm symmetry. An analysis of the mechanism behind such a transformation shows the importance of direct plasma-chemical effects in polymerization, while the crystal structure changes are believed to be due to plasma-emitted radiation in the ultraviolet range.

Plasma focus devices represent a class of hot and dense plasma sources that serve a dual role in fundamental plasma research and practical applications. These devices allow the observation of various phenomena, including the z-pinch effect, nuclear fusion reactions, plasma filaments, bursts, shocks, jets, X-rays, neutron pulses, ions, and electron beams. In recent years, considerable efforts have been directed toward miniaturizing plasma focus devices, driven by the pursuit of both basic studies and technological advancements.
