The explicit roles of the hardly avoidable oxygen species on carbon materials in various fields remain contentious due to limitations characterization techniques, which lead a lack fundamental understanding surface chemistry. This study delves exhaustively into comprehension features different oxygen-modified carbons through dynamic evolution surficial functional groups. Significant differences thermal stability and electronic properties among are elucidated via situ characterizations theoretical calculations, providing reliable benchmark for identifying groups materials. chemical simultaneously investigated show influence structures, redox stability, scalable metal adsorption. These findings not only consider common misconception that produced under conditions possess identical but also raise awareness chemistry atomic level.
