“…In contrast, Silva et al. [ 116 ] found that the surface structure of reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) was destroyed during air DBD treatment. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed a 5 min treated sample had small white fragments distributed over the RVC surface, which were likely produced by surface etching, while traces of intense surface etching were observed on the sample treated for 10 min that led to increased roughness.…”

Plasma technology is an eco‐friendly way to modify or fabricate carbon‐based materials (CBMs) due to plasmas’ distinctive abilities in tuning the surface physicochemical properties by implanting functional groups or incorporating heteroatoms into the surface without changing the bulk structure. However, the mechanisms of functional groups formation on the carbon surface are still not clearly explained because of the variety of different discharge conditions and the complexity of plasma chemistry. Consequently, this paper contains a comprehensive review of plasma‐treated carbon‐based materials and their applications in environmental, materials, and energy fields. Plasma‐treated CBMs used in these fields have been significantly enhanced in recent years because these related materials possess unique features after plasma treatment, such as higher adsorption capacity, enhanced wettability, improved electrocatalytic activity, etc. Meanwhile, this paper also summarizes possible reaction routes for the generation of functional groups on CBMs. The outlook for future research is summarized, with suggestions that plasma technology research and development shall attempt to achieve precise control of plasmas to synthesize or to modify CBMs at the atomic level.
