Fluorinated graphene is one of the most important derivatives of graphene and has been found to have great potential in optoelectronic and photonic nanodevices. However, the stability of F atoms on fluorinated graphene under different conditions, which is essential to maintain the desired properties of fluorinated graphene, is still unclear. In this work, we investigate the diffusion of F atoms on pristine graphene, graphene with defects, and at graphene/fluorographene interfaces by using density functional theory calculations. We find that an isolated F atom diffuses easily on graphene, but those F atoms can be localized by inducing vacancies or absorbates in graphene and by creating graphene/fluorographene interfaces, which would strengthen the binding energy of F atoms on graphene and increase the diffusion energy barrier of F atoms remarkably.
氟化石墨烯是石墨烯最重要的衍生物之一,已发现在光电子和光子纳米器件中具有巨大潜力。然而,氟化石墨烯中氟原子在不同条件下的稳定性,对于维持氟化石墨烯所需性能至关重要,但目前仍不清楚。在这项工作中,我们通过密度泛函理论计算研究了氟原子在原始石墨烯、有缺陷的石墨烯以及石墨烯/氟化石墨烯界面上的扩散情况。我们发现,孤立的氟原子在石墨烯上容易扩散,但通过在石墨烯中引入空位或吸附质以及创建石墨烯/氟化石墨烯界面,可以使这些氟原子定位,这将增强氟原子与石墨烯之间的结合能,并显著提高氟原子的扩散能垒。
