Graphite fluorides with different structural types (C y F) n (y = 2.5, 2, and 1) and room temperature graphite fluorides were studied by solid state NMR and NEXAFS. Data extracted from those two techniques are complementary, providing information about the C−F bonding and the hybridization character of the carbon atom valence states. The comparison of data obtained by different methods such as NMR, Raman, and X-ray absorption leads to similar conclusions regarding the chemical bonding in fluorographites. Several major configurations of fluorinated graphites are discussed, that is, planar sheets with mainly sp 2 hybridization in room temperature graphite fluorides and corrugated sheets with sp 3 hybridization in covalent high temperature graphite fluoride. Different references such as highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), graphitized carbon nanodiscs (graph-CNDs) and nanodiamonds (NDs) have also been investigated for comparison.

The present review focuses on the numerous routes for the preparation of fluorinated graphene (FG) according to the starting materials. Two strategies are considered: (i) addition of fluorine atoms on graphenes of various nature and quality and (ii) exfoliation of graphite fluoride. Chemical bonding in fluorinated graphene, related properties and a selection of applications for lubrication, energy storage, and gas sensing will then be discussed.
