“…Fluorination of carbon-based materials (e.g., carbon nanotubes, fibers, and diamond-like carbons) can effectively modify their physical properties, thanks to the diversity of the C–F bonds, their numbers, and distributions. , Among fluorine-containing carbon materials, graphite fluoride (GF) is a classic example with covalent C(sp 3 )–F bonds, finding uses as a solid lubricant, cathode for lithium-ion batteries, precursor for the 2D derivatives (graphene/fluorographene , ), hydrophobic coatings, or thermally conductive yet electrically insulating coatings . Two major compositions of GF are (C 2 F) n and (CF) n , both of which adopt the layered structure. , The highly resistive GF or fluorographene can become more conducting when the F content decreases by electron beam irradiation, , thermal decomposition, ,, and chemical functionalizations, , mostly due to the restoration of the sp 2 network of carbon. There is a wealth of information on electrical properties of fluorographene, ,, fluorinated amorphous carbon, fluorinated carbon nanotubes, or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) .…”
