利用介质阻挡射频放电产生了单重态氧,实验中在放电气体中加人了一定量的NO气体以提高单重态氧的相对产率。通过研究放电出口处单重态氧发光强度与NO流量的变化关系,考查了NO分子对放电产生单重态氧的影响。实验结果表明,NO分子对单重态氧相对产率的提高作用呈现出先迅速增强,继而缓慢达到饱和并略有下降。在所设计的实验条件下,最佳NO流量应为O2流量的3%左右。给出了NO分子对放电产生单重态氧浓度的拟合公式,拟合结果与实验值吻合很好。从化学反应机理上对该公式给出了解释,提出了NO分子猝灭氧原子过程的一种新的可能机理,估算出该过程的速率常数为1.8×10^-30cm^6/s。
Singlet delta oxygen O2 (a^1△) molecules are generated by O2/He gaseous mixture dielectric barrier radio- frequency discharge. NO gas is added into main gas flow to improve the relative yield of 02 (a^1△). Influence of NO on the relative yield of 02 (a^1△) is examined by observing the O5 (a^1△) emission intensity as a function of NO flow rate. The experimental results show that the 02 (a^1 △) relative yield reaches a saturation with the increase of NO flow rate and then slowly decreases. The optimal NO flow rate is about 3% of O2 flow rate under the conditions of the experiments. A new reaction mechanism including three-body oxygen atom recombination is proposed. According to the new mechanisms, a fitting function is given which agrees well with the experimental results. The rate constant of the new mechanism is obtained to be 1.8×10^- 30 cm^6/s.
