Abstract
Specifically fluorinated carbons have enhanced chemical and/or electrochemical stabilities to corrosion, improved hydrophobicity, lubricating properties, etc., making them especially useful as electrodes in both energy consuming and energy producing electrochemical cells, such as batteries, fuel cells and cells for the electrochemical synthesis of organic and inorganic chemical compounds. The specifically fluorinated carbons may also be employed as lubricants, in fabrication of reactors for generating energy, chemical reaction vessels and as catalyst supports.
