Carbon-based materials, characterized by their high specific surface area and exceptional chemical stability, have become integral to adsorption-based remediation methods. Carbon materials demonstrate efficiency, selectivity, environmental compatibility in radionuclide adsorption. However, the practical application of conventional carbon is limited insufficient adsorption capacity selectivity. Plasma modification has emerged as a highly effective strategy for enhancing chemistry thereby significantly improving performance. This process increases introduces variety functional groups, which turn boost adsorb radionuclides. review systematically explores progress made modifying carbon-based adsorbents radioactive nuclides, with particular emphasis on mechanisms effectiveness plasma modification, covering studies plasma-modified published between 2009 2024. Furthermore, discusses future prospects applications nuclear wastewater treatment, providing scientific foundation development efficient sustainable technologies.
