Description

Atmospheric pressure plasma generator, preparation method and plasma generating device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of low-temperature plasmas, in particular to an atmospheric pressure plasma generator, a preparation method and a plasma generating device.
Background
Atmospheric low temperature plasma is a normal pressure low temperature plasma with higher electron energy and lower ion energy and temperatures between room temperature and several hundred degrees celsius. The method has the advantages of low temperature, multiple active particle types, large quantity, strong activity, no need of a complex vacuum system and the like, and has wide application prospect in the fields of material surface processing and biomedicine. By controlling the diameter of the atmospheric pressure low-temperature plasma beam spot, the atmospheric pressure superfine plasma with the diameter of tens of micrometers or even nanometer magnitude can be obtained, so that the limitation on a mask plate can be eliminated during the patterning processing of the material surface, and the direct-writing micro-nano processing can be realized. In addition, in some special applications of atmospheric pressure low temperature plasmas, such as single quantum dot modification, single cell targeting treatment, and the like, atmospheric pressure ultra-fine plasmas with beam spot diameters on the order of micrometers or even nanometers are also required. However, the preparation of stable discharge atmospheric pressure plasma generators is a major challenge in the current atmospheric pressure low temperature plasma field.
The existing method mainly comprises the steps of heating and drawing a glass tube to obtain a capillary glass tube with an outlet diameter of a few micrometers, inserting a metal wire electrode, and introducing working gas to generate atmospheric pressure superfine plasma. However, the method is unstable in discharge and high in excitation voltage, and the capillary glass tube tip is easily broken down or ablated. The wire electrode is directly inserted into the air inlet channel and can also influence the working air flow, so that the plasma discharge stability is greatly influenced. In addition, it is difficult to ensure that the wire electrode is at the centerline of the capillary glass tube, and that the direct exposure of the wire electrode to the plasma discharge region also has an impact on the wire electrode lifetime. In addition to the heat drawn glass tube method, the silicon wafer-based deep silicon etching method is also a common method for generating atmospheric pressure ultra-fine plasma. After the needed micropores are etched on the silicon chip through a deep silicon etching process, the silicon chip and the glass tube are connected through glue, so that plasmas generated in the glass tube can be sprayed out through the micropores on the silicon chip, and atmospheric pressure ultrafine plasmas are generated. However, this method requires expensive processing equipment, and has a long processing cycle and high cost. In addition, the bonding part of the silicon chip and the glass tube is difficult to treat, and the plasma spraying and stability can be greatly influenced.
In view of the above drawbacks, the present inventors have finally achieved the present invention through long-time studies and practices.
