High-Throughput Compatibility Screening of Materials for SF-Alternative Insulation.

With the annual global electricity production exceeding 30,000 TWh, the safe transmission of electric power has been heavily relying on SF, the most potent industrial greenhouse gas. While promising SF alternatives have been proposed, their compatibilities with materials used in gas-insulated equipment (GIE) must be thoroughly studied. This is particularly true as the emerging SF alternatives generally leverage their relatively higher reactivity to achieve lower global warming potentials (GWPs).
