The pH value of an aqueous solution usually decreases when treated by air discharge plasma due to the formation of HNO2 and HNO3 in solution. Herein, we found that the existence of a pH-buffer material, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), can maintain or even increase the solution pH value in an air plasma–liquid system depending on the discharge conditions such as the temperature and the voltage polarity...
