PLASMA REACTOR
First Claim
1. A plasma reactor comprising a reaction container that has an inlet for a reforming target gas and an outlet for a reformed gas, a pair of electrodes that generate plasma and are disposed opposite to each other in an inner space of the reaction container, a pulse power supply that applies a voltage between the pair of electrodes, and a catalyst that promotes a reforming reaction of the reforming target gas,one of the pair of electrodes being a honeycomb electrode that is formed of a conductive ceramic and includes a plurality of cells that are defined by a partition wall and serve as a gas passage;
- the other of the pair of electrodes being an opposite electrode that is disposed opposite to an end face of the honeycomb electrode;
the catalyst being supported on the partition wall of the honeycomb electrode; and
a concave surface being formed in a center area of the end face of the honeycomb electrode that is opposite to the opposite electrode.

Abstract
A plasma reactor includes a reaction container having an inlet 4 for a reforming target gas and an outlet for a reformed gas, a pair of electrodes that generate plasma and are disposed opposite to each other in an inner space of the reaction container, a pulse power supply that applies a voltage between the pair of electrodes, and a catalyst that promotes a reforming reaction of the reforming target gas, one electrode being a honeycomb electrode that is formed of a conductive ceramic and includes a plurality of cells that are defined by a partition wall, the other electrode being disposed opposite to an end face of the honeycomb electrode, the catalyst being supported on the partition wall of the honeycomb electrode, and a concave surface being formed in a center area of the end face of the honeycomb electrode that opposes the opposite electrode.
