Abstract
- A new solid-state 19 F magic-angle spinning NMR signal at an isotropic 19 F chemical shift of −53 ppm is measured from graphite fluoride synthesized by reaction of graphite with F 2 at temperatures above 750 K with no catalyst. Two-dimensional NMR suggests the −53 ppm 19 F NMR signal originates from covalent fluoromethanetriyl groups belonging to ordered (C y F) n bulk domains composited with the major (CF) n domains. Quantitative 19 F and 13 C NMR find y = 4.32 ± 0.64 . DFT calculations of NMR chemical shifts for unsaturated fluorographene models show that a (C 4 F) n phase with fluorine bound covalently to a single side of the carbon layer best explains the observed NMR chemical shifts. We assign the new phase to this (C 4 F) n structure, which constitutes up to 15% of the carbon in our graphite fluoride composites. The (C 4 F) n content of the composite affects bulk electrochemical properties in a manner similar to graphite fluorides produced by conventional, catalyzed fluorination processes.
