According to the method, the preheated NAC was treated with 1,2-dibromotetrafluoroethane at elevated temperatures (400-800 °C). Potentiometric and elemental analysis, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and F solid-state NMR were used to study the NAC microstructure and changes in surface chemistry.

This method does not require activation by plasma and photons. Chemical and elemental analysis showed that the pyrolytic treatment provides a loading of 2.
