Heterogeneous catalysts coupled with non-thermal plasma are known to achieve higher reaction yields, but disentangling the gain achieved by the individual components remains challenging. Here, NO is produced from N2 and O2 in a plasma-catalytic reactor at conditions at which neither catalyst nor plasma alone is productive, providing unambiguous evidence of plasma-catalyst synergy.
