Cover: The picture shows current/voltage profiles for DC coronas in pure air (green) and in air doped with i ‐octane (blue) or hexane (red). Hydrocarbons have no effect on –DC but strongly reduce +DC corona current. Ion analysis provides a rationale for these macroscopic observations: Numerous hydrocarbon‐derived positive ions but no negative ions are detected in the plasma.
