As a novel carbon allotrope, graphdiyne exhibits excellent electrochemical properties such as high specific capacities, outstanding rate performances, and long cycle lives. These properties are attributed to its sp- and sp-hybridized bonding and a natural large pore structure. Doping with light elements is a facile way to improve the electrochemical performance of graphdiyne. Herein, we report the preparation of fluorine-doped graphdiyne by exposure to XeF under a mild temperature. Compared to pristine graphdiyne, the capacities are doubled. We obtained reversible capacities of fluorinated graphdiyne up to 1080 mA h g after 600 cycles at a current density of 500 mA g. At a higher current density of 1000 mA g, it still retained a high specific capacity of 693 mA h g after 1000 cycles. Using quantitative nanomechanical probe atomic force microscopy, we further analyzed the surface morphologies and elastic modulus to understand the mechanism of the electrochemical improvement. The fluorinated graphdiyne elastic modulus is doubled in contrast to pristine graphdiyne. The performance improvements are attributed to the improvement in conductivity and enhancement of the mechanical properties.

Currently, most carbon monoxide (CO) gas sensors work at high temperatures of over 150 °C. Developing CO gas sensors that operate at room temperature is challenging because of the sensitivity trade-offs. Here, we report an ultrasensitive CO gas sensor at room temperature using fluorine-graphdiyne (F-GDY) in which electrons are increased by light.

Copper-based materials are very important for many application fields from marine industry to energy management and electronic devices. For most of these applications, the copper objects require long-term contact to a wet and salty environment, which leads to serious corrosion of copper. In this work, we report a thin graphdiyne layer directly grown on arbitrary shapes of copper objects at mild conditions, which could function as a protective coating for the copper substrates in artificial seawater with corrosion inhibition efficiency of ∼99.

An effective and original strategy described as two-dimensional encapsulation is designed to prepare a high-performance fluorinated carbon cathode composed of a fluorinated carbon/graphdiyne heterostructure (CF/GDY). The GDY layers of CF/GDY strengthened the three-dimensional contacts between the CF particles and additive, achieving outstanding charge transport kinetics and accelerating the lithium-ion diffusion dynamic behavior. The obtained electrodes exhibited a significantly enhanced voltage platform of ∼2.

Suppressing the irreversible interfacial reactions is an important scientific bottleneck in the development of stable high-energy-density lithium-ion battery. The interfacial chemistry of graphdiyne (GDY) on the high-voltage cathode of LiNi Mn O (LNMO) shows a very interesting process, in which the sp-hybridization carbon atoms chemically scavenge the hydrofluoric acid (HF) and in situ form the fluorinated GDY interface. It first turns the harmful HF into profit, and greatly enhances the interfacial stability and restrains the side reaction on the cathode under high working voltage.

Engineering of self-disinfecting surfaces to constrain the spread of SARS-CoV-2 is a challenging task for the scientific community because the human coronavirus spreads through respiratory droplets. Titania (TiO) nanocomposite antimicrobial coatings is one of the ideal remedies to disinfect pathogens (virus, bacteria, fungi) from common surfaces under light illumination. The photocatalytic disinfection efficiency of recent TiO nanocomposite antimicrobial coatings for surfaces, dental and orthopaedic implants are emphasized in this review.
