Plasma-assisted thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was carried out to synthesize high-quality graphene film at a low temperature of 600°C. Monolayer graphene films were thus synthesized on Cu foil using various ratios of hydrogen and methane in a gaseous mixture. The in situ plasma emission spectrum was measured to elucidate the mechanism of graphene growth in a plasma-assisted thermal CVD system. According to this process, a distance must be maintained between the plasma initial stage and the deposition stage to allow the plasma to diffuse to the substrate. Raman spectra revealed that a higher hydrogen concentration promoted the synthesis of a high-quality graphene film. The results demonstrate that plasma-assisted thermal CVD is a low-cost and effective way to synthesis high-quality graphene films at low temperature for graphene-based applications.

There is an urgent need for stable, plant-based Pickering foams to address the growing consumer demand for sustainable, low-calorie, aerated sweet foods. This study employed a cold plasma-assisted deamidation and glycosylation (CPDG) approach to promote hydrophilic reassembly of zein, resulting in the formation of sugar derivative-zein conjugates. This was accomplished by coupling deamidated zein with polyhydroxy sugars including sucralose (Suc), maltitol (Mal), mannitol (Man), and stevioside (Ste).

This study explores the enhanced adsorption performance of activated carbon felt (ACF) for Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions, achieved using a dual-synergistic approach combining MnO coating and plasma treatment. ACF's intrinsic properties, including a high surface area (~ 1000-2000 m²/g), large porosity, and excellent mechanical stability, make it a promising material for environmental applications. However, its limited surface functional groups hinder its adsorption efficiency for heavy metals.

Understanding of the structure and interfacial merits that reactive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) undergo is critical for constructing efficient catalysts for non-thermal plasma-assisted conversion of greenhouse gases. Herein, we proposed a free-standing bimetallic (Co/Ni) MOFs supported on bacterial cellulose (BC) foams (Co/Ni-MOF@BC) toward the coaxial dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma-catalytic system, of which the Co/Ni ions coordination demonstrated an intriguing textual uplifting of the malleable BC nanofiber network with abundant pores up to micrometer-scale, which could impart a more intensive predominant filamentary microdischarge current to 180 mA with stronger plasma-catalytic interaction. Remarkably, compared to the monometallic MOF@BC foams, this bimetallic Co/Ni-MOF@BC also delivered a substantially improved alkaline absorption ability as further confirmed by the CO- temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) result.

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) exhibits mechanical, optoelectronic, and conductive properties comparable to pristine graphene, which has led to its widespread use as a method for producing graphene-like materials in bulk. This paper reviews the characteristics of graphene oxide and the evolution of traditional reduction methods, including chemical and thermal techniques. A comparative analysis reveals that these traditional methods encounter challenges, such as toxicity and high energy consumption, while plasma reduction offers advantages like enhanced controllability, the elimination of additional reducing agents, and reduced costs.

In this study, a two-stage system, involving plasma degradation coupled with plasma-assisted catalytic oxidation, was developed for the degradation of polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) at low temperatures. The dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma contributed reactive oxygen species (ROS) for the degradation of PS-MPs, and the plasma-assisted Hopcalite catalyst selectively facilitated the final oxidation of by-products to CO. Within 60 min, the conversion rate of PS-MPs to CO, α(CO), reached an impressive 98.
