📄 Abstract（原文）
This article presents a sustainable, cost-effective, fast, and eco-friendly microwave-assisted plasma technique for converting methane, a hazardous greenhouse gas (GHG), into value-added products. A proof-of-concept system is reported that employs high-power microwave (MW) energy to decompose methane into hydrogen and carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) through a catalyst-free, high-temperature plasma (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\gt\!\!\!1500~^{\circ }$ </tex-math></inline-formula>C) process. The system addresses critical challenges such as remote plasma ignition, flame isolation, and precise fluid and thermal management to ensure stable operation and steady methane conversion. The developed system achieves a methane decomposition efficiency exceeding 95%, with plasma temperatures surpassing <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$1500~^{\circ }$ </tex-math></inline-formula>C and hydrogen production efficiency above 90%. The synthesized CNPs exhibit a mean particle size of 39.93 nm and a purity of approximately 99%, confirming their high-quality formation. An energy assessment demonstrates a 93.75% reduction in net carbon emissions when powered by renewable energy sources, compared to conventional processes. These findings highlight the system as a potentially scalable and environmentally sustainable solution for methane valorization and GHG mitigation.
