The mechanism of accelerated reduction of oxidized metal catalysts by plasma was herein explored. Hydrogen radicals produced by discharge are important for generating energetic hydroxyl radicals by an Eley–Rideal‐type reaction, and these radicals in turn undergo desorption without further reaction. The desorbed hydroxyl radicals react with hydrogen radicals to produce gas‐phase water. The results obtained herein discuss the advantages of employing plasma catalysis for surface reactions.
