Augmented electron transfer kinetics of fluorinated graphene oxide (FGO) in comparison to graphene oxide is demonstrated. FGO and reduced FGO perform enhanced electro-catalytic activities, where the fluorine atom can modify the electronic as well as electrochemical activities of graphene surface.

For many excellent graphene derivatives, tailoring the material properties is crucial to get a broader application. In the present work, a series of fluorinated graphene oxide (FGO) with various oxidation degree were synthesized using a modified Hummers method at different reaction temperatures. The structure and property of FGO were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra-red spectra (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) and Zeta potential analysis. The results indicate that the oxygen contents range from 5.61 % to 21.96 % in FGO can be tuned by altering the reaction temperatures. The oxygen in FGO is presented mainly in the form of epoxide and carboxyl groups. With increasing reaction temperature from 50 °C to 90 °C, the oxygen content in FGO decreases and thicker multilayered FGO is formed with lower dispersibility.
