1. A non-thermal plasma reactor element comprising a multi-cell stack, individual cells in said stack comprising:

  • a pair of first and second electrode plates each comprising a high dielectric insulating plate having a printed side and a non-printed side;

    said printed side of said electrode plates including an electrode and a connector extending to one edge of said electrode plate, said connector being narrow relative to said electrode;

    wherein said electrode plates are oriented such that said connector of said first electrode plate extends to a first edge of said cell and said connector of said second electrode plate extends to a second edge of said cell opposite said first edge, forming alternate ground and charge carrying electrodes;

    said electrodes defining a pattern sufficient to establish a separation between said electrodes and connectors of alternate electrodes suitable to inhibit voltage leakage;

    a pair of spacers, wherein upper surfaces of said spacers engage said non-printed side of said first electrode plate and lower surfaces of said spacers engage a non-printed high dielectric insulating plate disposed between said pair of spacers and said second electrode plate;

    wherein said spacers form an exhaust gas passage between said first electrode plate and said non-printed insulating plate.
