Photolysis of Fluorinated Graphites with Embedded Acetonitrile Using a White-Beam Synchrotron Radiation.

Fluorinated graphitic layers with good mechanical and chemical stability, polar C-F bonds, and tunable bandgap are attractive for a variety of applications. In this work, we investigated the photolysis of fluorinated graphites with interlayer embedded acetonitrile, which is the simplest representative of the acetonitrile-containing photosensitizing family. The samples were continuously illuminated in situ with high-brightness non-monochromatized synchrotron radiation.

Chemiresistive Properties of Imprinted Fluorinated Graphene Films.

The electrical conductivity of graphene materials is strongly sensitive to the surface adsorbates, which makes them an excellent platform for the development of gas sensor devices. Functionalization of the surface of graphene opens up the possibility of adjusting the sensor to a target molecule. Here, we investigated the sensor properties of fluorinated graphene films towards exposure to low concentrations of nitrogen dioxide NO.

Bromine polycondensation in pristine and fluorinated graphitic carbons.

Despite decades of study the precise behavior of bromine in graphitic carbons remains unclear. In this report, using Raman spectroscopy, we reveal two types of bromine structure in graphitic carbon materials. Between fluorinated graphene layers with a composition close to C2F, Br2 molecules are intercalated in a form similar to liquid bromine.

The ways of use of multilayered graphene in engineering ecology.

The applications of multilayered graphenes (MLGs), nanocomposites "MLG-decontaminant" and polydicarbonfluoride intercalation compounds for the localization and deactivation of toxic spills and gaseous emissions under technogenic accidents are investigated in this paper. The intercalation compounds contain oxidizers as intercalants, and MLGs are formed destructively by thermolysis of polydicarbonfluoride intercalation compounds. The sorptive capacity of MLGs (about 240 ml of liquid phase per 1 g of MLG) is much higher than in well-known expanded graphites (EGs) obtained from graphite oxide or graphite acid salts.

The Influence of Dimensional Effects on the Composition and Properties of Polydicarbonfluoride.

The influence of dimensional effects on the compositions and properties of polydicarbonfluoride (C2 F)n prepared from multilayered graphenes was investigated. Multilayered graphenes were produced by destructive thermal decomposition of intercalation compounds of "idealized" (C2 F)n that were obtained by reaction of gaseous ClF3 with natural graphite at a room temperature. The precursors of multilayered graphenes have a common formula (C2 F⋅xR)n where R is an organic or inorganic component.
