Relative Irradiance Measurement and Bonding Configurations of Amorphous Fluorinated Carbon Films Deposited by Electron Cyclotron Resonance Plasma

a-C:F films are deposited by microwave electron cyclotron resonance (ECR)plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using trifluoromethane (CHF3) and benzene (C6H6) as source gases at different microwave powers. The radicals in plasma originating from source gases dissociation are analyzed by relative irradiance measurement. The bonding configurations and binding state of a-C:F films are measured with Fourier-transformed infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that a-C:F films are mainly composed of CF radical at lower powers but of CF2 radical at higher powers. The deposition of films is related to the radicals generated in plasma and the main bonding configurations are dependent on the ratio of CF to CF2 radicals in films.

Fluorinated soft carbon as an ultra-high energy density potassium-ion battery cathode enabled by a ternary phase K_(x)FC

Fluorinated carbons(CFx)have been widely applied as lithium primary batteries due to their ultra-high energy density.It will be a great promise if CFx can be rechargeable.In this study,we rationally tune the C-F bond strength for the alkaline intercalated CFx via importing an electronegative weaker element K instead of Li.It forms a ternary phase K_(x)FC instead of two phases(LiF+C)in lithium-ion batteries.Meanwhile,we choose a large layer distance and more defects CFx,namely fluorinated soft carbon,to accommodate K.Thus,we enable CFx rechargeable as a potassium-ion battery cathode.In detail fluorinated soft carbon CF_(1.01) presents a reversible specific capacity of 339 mA h g^(-1)(797 Wh kg^(-1))in the 2nd cycle and maintains 330 mA h g^(-1)(726 Wh kg^(-1))in the 15th cycle.This study reveals the importance of tuning chemical bond stability using different alkaline ions to endow batteries with rechargeability.This work provides good references for focusing on developing reversible electrode materials from popular primary cell configurations.

Lithium-ion and solvent co-intercalation enhancing the energy density of fluorinated graphene cathode

Fluorinated carbons CF_xhold the highest theoretical energy density(e.g.,2180 W h kg^(-1)when x=1)among all cathode materials of lithium primary batteries.However,the low conductivity and severe polarization limit it to achieve its theory.In this study,we design a new electrolyte,namely 1 M LiBF_(4)DMSO:DOL(1:9 vol.),achieving a high energy density in Li/CF_xprimary cells.The DMSO with a small molecular size and high donor number successfully solvates Li^(+)into a defined Li^(+)-solvation structure.Such solvated Li^(+)can intercalate into the large-spacing carbon layers and achieve an improved capacity.Consequently,when discharged to 1.0 V,the CF_(1.12)cathode demonstrates a specific capacity of 1944 m A h g^(-1)with a specific energy density of 3793 W h kg^(-1).This strategy demonstrates that designing the electrolyte is powerful in improving the electrochemical performance of CF_(x) cathode.

SELF-ASSEMBLED MICRO-DOMAINS ON THE UPPERMOST SURFACE OF FLUORINATED POLY(CARBONATE URETHANE)S WITH FLUORINATED SIDE CHAIN ATTACHED ON HARD SEGMENTS

The surface phase separated structure of polyurethanes is always desired due to the advantage of better biocompatibility, compared with the homogeneous one. The key issue is how to control and characterize the surface morphology. In this work, we report the uppermost surface morphology of fluorinated poly(carbonate urethane)s with fluorinated side chains attached to hard segments as studied by AFM, XPS and contact angle measurement. A self-assembled micro-domain with the fluorinated side chain standing up on the uppermost surface has been proposed for polyurethane with higher fluorinated content, based on the result obtained.

Effects of Deposition Temperature on the Properties of Fluorinated Amorphous Carbon Films

Fluorinated amorphous carbon films (a-C:F) were prepared at different temperatures using a microwave electron cyclotron resonance chemical vapor deposition (ECR-CVD) reactor with CHF3 and C2H2 as source gases. Films were annealed at 500℃ in vacuum ambience in order to investigate the relationship of their thermal stability, optical and electrical properties with deposition temperature. Results indicate that the films deposited at high temperature have a less CFX bonding and a more cross-linking structure thus a better thermal stability. They also have a lower bandgap, higher dielectric constant and higher leakage current.

Plasma Deposition of Fluorinated Amorphous Carbon with CHF_3 and C_6H_6 Mixture

A-C:F, H film have been studied because of their low dielectric constant for application in interlayer dielectric in ULSC. These films were deposited by ECR plasma Reactor with CHF3 and C6H6 mixture as source gas. The effects of microwave power, pressure and CHF3/C6H6 ratios on the film deposition rates have been investigated. The fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon radical species in the plasma discharges were analyzed by using the optical emission spectra. It demonstrates that CF2, CF and CH radicals play the important roles in the films being formed.

Fluorinated amorphous carbon films were deposited using microwave electron cyclotron resonance chemical vapor deposition (ECR-CVD) reactor with CF4 and C8H6 as source gas and were annealed in nitrogen ambience for the investigating of their thermal stability .The relative concentration of C=C bond and optical bandgap were obtained by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-VIS ) spectrum, respectively. It has been demonstrated that there is a close relationship between relative concentration of C=C bond and optical bandgap, and the films deposited at a higher microwave power have a lower optical bandgap and a better thermal stability.

LARGELY IMPROVED BLOOD COMPATIBILITY OF POLYURETHANE BY BLENDING WITH FLUORINATED PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE POLYURETHANE

The improvement of biocompatibility of polyurethanes was investigated.The results demonstrate that the blood compatibility of polyurethanes can be further improved by just simply mixing with the fluorinated phosphatidylcholine poly(carbonate urethane)s(FPCPCUs).The solution blending was done by mixing poly(ether urethane)(PEU)with FPCPCU in different compositions.An increased blood compatibility of the blend films was observed with the increase of FPCPCU content,and when FPCPCU content reached to 40 wt%(40F...

A Study on Optical Emission of CF_4+CH_4 Plasma and Deposition Mechanisms of a-C : F, H Films

Fluorinated amorphous carbon (a-C : F,H) films were deposited by inductively coupled plasma using CH4 and CF4 gases. Actinometrical optical emission spectroscopy (AOES) was used to determine the relative concentrations of various radicals, CF, CF2 CH, C2, H and F, in the plasma as a function of gas flow ratio R, R= [CH4]/([CH4]+[CF4]). The structural evolution of the films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared transmission (FTIR) spectroscopy. The relationship between the film deposition and the precursor radicals in the plasma was discussed. It was shown that CH radical, as well as CF, CF2, C2 radicals are of the precursors, contributing to a-C : F, H film growth.
