Abstract

We report a novel and effective method to prepare fluorinated graphene sheets (FGS) by the cooperative exfoliation of graphite fluoride using cetyl-trimethyl-ammonium bromide and dopamine. This facile, scalable preparation route results in wide (about 2 μm in width), long (at least 3 μm in length) and ultrathin (1–2 layers) FGS with uniform morphology. The chemical composition of FGS was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The obtained FGS exhibits full-color emission when excited by near ultraviolet (NUV) rays, suggesting its potential applications in luminescence devices, such as NUV-pumped FGS-based flexible light-emitting diodes.
