Abstract

With the gradual intensification of environmental issues such as the greenhouse effect, the development and utilization of sustainable energy has become a critical pathway for achieving the green transformation of energy structures. To address the inherent volatility and intermittency of sustainable energy, plasma catalysis technology offers a novel solution for efficiently converting sustainable energy into chemical energy through its high-efficiency reaction capabilities under mild conditions. This work begins by exploring the fundamental characteristics of plasma, highlighting its advantages in energy conversion and its compatibility with sustainable energy sources. It specifically reviews technological progress and bottlenecks in greenhouse gas conversion and classical nitrogen fixation systems, while emphasizing the highly efficient coupling relationship between plasma technology and sustainable energy utilization. Through systematic summarization and optimization of plasma-sustainable energy coupled systems, this study contributes to the development of zero-carbon energy systems. It promotes the advancement of sustainable socio-economic growth.
