面向传染病防治的等离子体技术综述

Infectious diseases pose a severe threat to life and health, presenting ongoing challenges to social stability and economic development worldwide. Current methods for preventing and treating infectious diseases exhibit certain limitations in terms of efficacy, broad-spectrum applicability, or safety, driving persistent efforts toward novel approaches. Plasma technology, which generates a diverse range of reactive species via high-voltage discharge, can effectively and broadly inactivate pathogenic microorganisms while remaining safe for humans under appropriate operational parameters, demonstrating unique advantages in infectious disease control. From the application perspective of high-voltage engineering, we systematically elucidate the research progress of plasma technology in the inactivation of environmental pathogenic microorganisms and the treatment of infectious diseases. Moreover, we explore the future development directions of the technology from following three aspects: mechanistic analysis, efficacy enhancement, and clinical applications, aiming to provide insights for further research and practical application of plasma technology in infectious disease prevention and treatment.
