Abstract
A fluorine doped graphene (FDG) film was deposited on the surface of roving fabric by radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD). The micromorphology, functional group types, chemical composition, molecular structure and nanostructure image of the deposited films under different discharge power were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The static and rolling−water/−oil contact angle were measured by contact angle meter. The electrochemistry properties were tested using electrochemical workstation. The superamphiphobic mechanism was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and density functional theory (DFT), and the corresponding software were Gemry Echem Analyst and Materials Studio 7.0, respectively. The results show that the obtained FDG film has the best hydrophobic and oil repellent performance under the discharge power of 80 W. F atom in the FDG film is arranged on both side and the capacitance structure (C-model) is presented in the equivalent element by EIS fitting and DFT calculation under the discharge power of 80 W. The phenomenon proves that the electron transfer of free electrons from the position of K point in the Brillouin region of graphene surface was forbidden by the F atom, which is the mechanism of superhydrophobic and oil drainage on the FDG film surface.
