Electrical resistance behavior of oxyfluorinated graphene under oxidizing and reducing gas exposure

The electrical resistance behavior of graphene was studied under oxidizing and reducing gas exposure. The graphene surface was modified via oxyfluorination to obtain a specific surface area and oxygen functional groups. Fluorine radicals provided improved pore structure and introduction of an oxygen functional group. A high-performance gas sensor was obtained based on enlarged target gas adsorption sites and an enhanced electron charge transfer between the target gas and carbon surface via improved pore structure and the introduction of oxygen functional groups, respectively.
