I am the author of the V1. Not a chemist but a mechanical engineer.
I want you to explain to me the difference between OH- and OH radicals ...
thanks to you
PS: you master English, I have a glue for you in the following doc:

Good, quick, for the difference between HO- (ion) and HO. (radical) ... trying not to go into too much detail, say that in the HO- ion, all valence orbitals are full, which makes this species very stable (its last layer of electron is full so he's not going to try to take one electron to another and he's not going to be trying to give it either) even if it's loaded. All that will push an HO- to react is the net load that it carries ... so at best it will be attracted by positive or partially positive species (I simplify).
The radical HO, on the contrary, he misses an electron to have his last full layer ... so he will try absolutely to take one somewhere, or to bind with another radical. It is a species in extremely reactive, but neutral.
If you want more information on the radicals and ions, I can find you there (there are popularization sites very well done at this level).
For English, let's say I'm doing
For advertisers, the institution in which I work does not have sufficient budgets (it is horribly expensive scientific publications) ... but I can perhaps manage to get you some interesting papers (I check the vein and I give you news).
For what you offer me as an article, I take a look as soon as I have time. For the V1 explanation, I have already taken a look, but I have not yet been able to really look into it ... in fact, I stayed a little on the diagram ... the history of the poles, that bother a little. Then the annotation "endothermic reactor" next to "attention very hot", that disturbed me a little ... even if a priori, it is not incompatible. By the way, have you ever tried to insulate the reactor with glass wool to increase the temperature in it? Or even connected an extra? How much does the temperature of the exhaust gases rise? Anyway, I just looked at the diagram and I'm already asking myself a lot of questions, so before I go into the explanation, I'm going to need a little time
