Abstract Ethanol is a kind of commonly used disinfectant in medical treatment. Theoretically, doping ethanol into aqueous solution treated by Ar plasma jet can enhance the bactericidal effect. Through the inactivation experiment of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, it was found that the bactericidal effect of Ar jet plasma-activated water was increased by more than 5 orders of magnitude by doping 20% ethanol. Furthermore, when 0.2% N2 was mixed into the working gas or 1% O2 was added into the shield, the bactericidal effect can be improved by more than 5 orders of magnitude by doping 2% ethanol. At the same time, 2% ethanol doping can cause the overlapping of multiple discharge channels in the plasma, which may be due to Penning ionization of metastable Ar* and ethanol gas molecules at the gas-liquid interface. Finally, the analysis of reactive species in liquid phase show that peracetic acid in ethanol solution activated by plasma may play a leading role in the sterilization process, and peroxynitrite and peracetic acid may synergistically enhance the bactericidal effect.
