Abstract
Plasma discharge with liquid water has potential applications in water treatment and chemical synthesis. The
main product of plasma discharge with water is hydroxyl radical, which is one of the strong oxidants and it can
react with many organic pollutants in the water. However, the hydroxyl radicals are not stable, and the maj
