Study of the dielectric breakdown properties of CO2–O2 mixtures by considering electron detachments from negative ions

The dielectric breakdown properties of CO2-O2 mixtures at different O2 concentrations and gas pressures were studied in this paper, with electron detachments from negative ions taken into consideration. The influences of the electron detachment on the reduced effective ionization coefficients αeff/N, the critical reduced electric fields (E/N)cr, the critical electron temperature Tcr, the breakdown reduced electric fields (E/N)breakdown, and the breakdown electron temperature Tbreakdown were analyzed for the CO2–O2 mixture. Based on the results, it was found that an enhancement in αeff/N and a decrease in (E/N)cr and Tcr were caused by the electron detachment, which appeared to be more significant at relatively low E/N and low gas pressures. With the increase in the pd product, both (E/N)breakdown and Tbreakdown in the CO2–O2 mixture decreased first and then tended to be a constant at relatively high pd products.
