The bandgap opening of graphene is extremely important for the expansion of the applications of graphene-based materials into optoelectronics and photonics. Current methods to open the bandgap of graphene have intrinsic drawbacks including small bandgap openings, the use hazardous/harsh chemical oxidations, and the requirement of expensive chemical-vapor deposition technologies. Herein, an eco-friendly, highly effective, low-cost, and highly scalable synthetic approach is reported for synthesizing wide-bandgap fluorinated graphene (F-graphene or or fluorographene) semiconductors under ambient conditions. In this synthesis, ionic liquids are used as the only chemical to exfoliate commercially available fluorinated graphite into single and few-layer F-graphene. Experimental and theoretical results show that the bandgap of F-graphene is largely dependent on the F coverage and configuration, and thereby can be tuned over a very wide range.

Photocatalytic overall water splitting is a promising approach for a sustainable hydrogen provision using solar energy. For sufficient solar energy utilization, this reaction ought to be operated based on visible-light-active semiconductors, which is very challenging. In this work, an F-expedited nitridation strategy is applied to modify the wide-bandgap semiconductor SrTiO for visible-light-driven photocatalytic overall water splitting.

Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) two-dimensional (2D) halide perovskite (HP), with attractive structural and optoelectronic properties, has shown great potential in optoelectrical devices. However, the relatively wide bandgap () and stability, which cause inferior efficiency, prevent its feasibility from further applications. To tackle these issues, for the first time, a novel fluorine-containing piperidinium spacer, (3-HCFCFCHOCH-PPH), abbreviated as (4FH-PPH), has been designed for the stable and efficient = 1 2D HPs.

Surface passivation with multifunctional molecules is an effective strategy to mitigate the defect and improve the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, the fabrication of a wide bandgap-PSC is reported with tin perovskite (WB-Sn-HP; bandgap: 1.68 eV), followed by molecular surface passivation using 4-Fluoro-benzohydrazide (F-BHZ).

Despite significant progress in the power-conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the instability of devices remains a considerable obstacle for commercial applications. This instability primarily originates from the migration of halide ions-particularly iodide ions (I). Under light exposure and thermal stress, I migrates and transforms into I, leading to irreversible degradation and performance loss.

The development of polymer dielectrics with both high energy density and low energy loss is a formidable challenge in the area of high-temperature dielectric energy storage. To address this challenge, a class of polymers (Parylene F) are designed by alternating fluorinated aromatic rings and vinyl groups in the polymer chain to confine the conjugating sequence and broaden the bandgap with the fluorine effect. The target films with desired thickness, ultra-high purity, and a wide bandgap are facilely fabricated by a one-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique from monomers.
