Abstract

Diamanes, ultrathin diamond films represent a very promising class of two-dimensional carbon materials that attracts attention due to broad potential applications starting from sensing and optics and finishing with mechanical applications. We investigate here the ability of diamanes with hydrogenated and fluorinated surfaces to confront oxidation by performing density functional calculations. Simulations for adsorption of atomic and molecular oxygen show greater oxidation resistance for fluorinated diamanes in comparison with hydrogenated ones making these 2D materials promising for various applications where intensive oxidation is present.
