It was shown that this adsorption strongly depends on molecular orientation toward SWCNT. Structural and electronic findings show that studied molecules undergoes a physical adsorption to N- SWCNT. However, AlNNT was also found to show significant changes in structural and electronic properties after HFCO and COF<sub>2</sub> adsorption. This adsorption leads to a significant (nearly 45%) reduction in the HOMO-LUMO gap of AlNNTs. Therefore, it is proposed from this study that Al-SWCNTs and AlNNTs are promising candidates for HFCO and COF<sub>2</sub> gas sensors. Moreover, AlNNTs exhibit intrinsic detection capabilities without structural manipulation via doping which makes AlNNTs particularly attractive for sensor applications.

Thermogravimetric analysis and oxidation tests manifest that the initial oxidation temperature of the graphite is reduced from 720 °C to 510–610 °C, because of the presence of the alkali fluoride salts.

Using an alternative proton-exchange functionality like -PO<sub>3</sub>H<sub>2</sub>, -COOH, etc., to replace -SO<sub>3</sub>H in ion conductive fluoropolymers has attracted significant attention. For example, composite membranes comprising Nafion™ and perfluoro(carboxylic acid) bearing a -COOH group on its side chains have been used in color-alkali cells to reduce unwanted electrolyte crossovers. In the present paper, we reported a new synthetic strategy for constructing novel -PO<sub>3</sub>H<sub>2</sub>-bearing fluoropolymers (FBP). Our method employs a ZnI<sub>2</sub>-promoted phosphorylation reaction of triethyl phosphite that converts benzyl alcohol on a side chain of a fluoropolymer into a benzylphosphodiester group, followed by trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl) hydrolysis to yield FBP. This strategy has enabled us to graft a fluoropolymer side chain directly with phosphonic acid. Although the in-plane proton conductivities of FBP fluoropolymers are lower than those of Nafion™ 115, most FBPs, especially Homo-FBP that has no fluoroalkyl ether group on its side chains, are significantly more stable against hydroxyl radical degradations in Fenton tests. This paper presents a new method for the synthesis of -PO<sub>3</sub>H<sub>2</sub>-containing fluoropolymers and our work also confirms a novel strategy for enhancing the long-term stability of a proton-conductive fluoropolymer in electrical devices—eliminating or reducing fluoroalkyl ether groups on the side chains of the polymer.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluorine Chemistry","volume":"277 ","pages":"Article 110312"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141582743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicate that the oxidative decomposition of R1234ye(E) is a typical chain reaction. The first stage is a chain-initiation reaction, where R1234ye(E) generates a large number of free radicals through initial self thermal decomposition reactions and collision reactions with oxygen. The most likely to occur is path 1–2, which is a homolytic reaction with an energy barrier of only 347.91 kJ/mol. The second stage is the chain-propagation reaction, including the reactions between R1234ye(E) and different free radical and subsequent reactions. The most likely to occur is path 5–1, which is a hydrogen abstraction reaction with an energy barrier of only 21.83 kJ/mol. The last stage is the chain-termination reaction, where the intermediates or products of the above reactions continue to react with the active free radicals until they are consumed. When all the reactants and free radicals are consumed and stable products are generated, the oxidative decomposition reaction ends.
