In this work, a mini-gliding arc discharge reactor was employed for the reforming of methane under ambient temperature and pressure operation. Acetylene and hydrogen were produced dominantly with high selectivities of ∼70-90 and ∼75%, respectively. The results showed that both methane conversion and...
