The principle of carbon materials modification by plasma was introduced in this paper. The studies on application of plasma technology in surface modification of carbon materials were reviewed in three main aspects, namely using plasma to improve the catalytic effect, capacitance and adsorption performance of carbon materials. Moreover, the prospects of plasma technology in surface modification of carbon were also discussed.

AbstractRemoval of organic sulfur compounds from diesel by adsorption on different carbon materials, including activated carbons (ACs), carbon aerogels, carbon nanotubes, and AC cloths, was reviewed. The effect of the textural and surface chemistry property of carbon on desulfurization performance, carbon surface modification, adsorption mechanism, and adsorbent regeneration and the effect of other components, including aromatics, additives, nitrogen compounds, and moisture, on adsorptive desulfurization of diesel fuel were also discussed in detail. Carbon materials showed very high selectivity for removing the dibenzothiophenes, especially for 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene, which is very difficult with hydrodesulfurization and other adsorbents. Both the textural and chemical properties of AC have an important impact on the adsorption of DBTs. Adsorption selectivity and capacity can be enhanced further by carbon surface modification. Considering the effect of diffusion hindrance and regeneration, mesoporous carbon is more suitable than microporous carbon with pore size <2 nm. It is necessary to eliminate the inhibiting effect of fuel additive and nitrogen compounds on the DBTs before carbon materials are used for desulfurization of real diesel fuel. In the end, some useful suggestions are also made.

AbstractSupercapacitors (SC) are energy storage devices with higher power but lower energy density than Li batteries. SC store energy based on two mechanisms: double layer capacitance (non-Faradaic) and pseudocapacitance (faradaic). Porous carbon materials have been extensively used as electrodes in SC, where their great surface area and pore size distribution have been the main properties for capacitance improvement. Nevertheless, these properties have shown limitations since they cannot be highly increased without losing electric conductivity, which is detrimental for the power requirements of SC. An alternative approach to increase capacitance has been the surface modification of carbon materials by introducing faradaic contributions. In this mini review, the effect of surface area, porosity, surface modification by doping or functionalization, and introduction of electroactive oxides are discussed to show how these factors influences the intrinsic capacitance values of different carbon materials; and some examples from our work are provided. The manipulation of such properties, on carbon materials (porosity and /or surface chemistry) not only are useful for devices such as SC, but also are very useful for a wide variety of Bio-applications (Bio-sensors, labelling and drug delivery, impregnation with microorganisms for its use as biochar, or for bio-fuel cells, etc.)
