Low temperature plasma stands at the forefront of green and clean energy technologies, showcasing remarkable versatility across a wide array of applications including material processing, water splitting, methane conversion, and plasma medicine. To fully harness the potential of this technology, it is imperative to deepen our understanding of the physics underlying various discharge structures.

This issue casts a spotlight on the recent strides in the field of low-temperature plasmas. We focus on key areas such as multipactor discharge, dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), plasma jet, leader, and spark. These topics are pivotal in demonstrating how low-temperature plasma technology can be leveraged in terms of device reliability, modulation and practical applications within the green energy sector.

In this collection, we have curated six papers that reflect the cutting-edge developments in this area, comprising three review articles and three original research papers. Each paper offers unique insights and contributes significantly to our understanding of low-temperature plasmas. The brief introductions to these papers, provided herein, encapsulate the essence of their research and findings.
