Abstract
A gas reactor includes a dielectric casing made of a dielectric material and forming a first conduit for directing first gas in one direction, a first electrode positioned inside the dielectric casing along a general center thereof and extending in the direction, at least one catalyst layer formed on a surface of the first electrode, and a second electrode surrounding an outer wall of the dielectric casing. The gas reactor further includes a power-supply unit applying AC power between the first electrode and the second electrode to generate glow discharge inside the dielectric casing.
