The CFN/CO/O gas mixture received a great deal of attention for its potential use in eco-friendly gas-insulated equipment (GIE). The evaluation of the compatibility between CFN/CO/O and sealing rubber is necessary and significant considering the high working pressure (0.14-0.6 MPa) of GIE. Herein, we explored the compatibility between CFN/CO/O and fluororubber (FKM) and nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) for the first time by analyzing the gas components, rubber morphology, elemental composition, and mechanical properties. The interaction mechanism of the gas-rubber interface was further investigated based on the density functional theory. We found that CFN/CO/O is compatible with FKM and NBR at 85 °C, while the surface morphology changed at 100 °C, with white granular and agglomerated lumps appearing on FKM and multi-layer flakes being generated on NBR. The accumulation of the fluorine element occurred, and the compressive mechanical properties of NBR deteriorated after the gas-solid rubber interaction. Overall, the compatibility between FKM and CFN/CO/O is superior, which could be employed as the sealing material for CFN-based GIE.
CFN/CO/O气体混合物因其在环保型气体绝缘设备(GIE)中的潜在应用而备受关注。考虑到GIE的高工作压力(0.14 - 0.6 MPa),评估CFN/CO/O与密封橡胶之间的兼容性是必要且重要的。在此,我们首次通过分析气体成分、橡胶形态、元素组成和机械性能,探究了CFN/CO/O与氟橡胶(FKM)和丁腈橡胶(NBR)之间的兼容性。基于密度泛函理论进一步研究了气-橡胶界面的相互作用机理。我们发现,CFN/CO/O在85°C时与FKM和NBR兼容,而在100°C时表面形态发生变化,FKM上出现白色颗粒和团聚块状物,NBR上产生多层薄片。气体-固体橡胶相互作用后,氟元素发生积累,NBR的压缩机械性能恶化。总体而言,FKM与CFN/CO/O之间的兼容性更佳,可作为基于CFN的GIE的密封材料。
