Key Points

  • This research focuses on how fluorination affects the electronic structure and hydrophobicity of nitrogen-doped carbon.
  • Utilized fluorine's properties to study its effects on nitrogen-doped carbon.
  • Investigated changes in p-orbital of pyridinic nitrogen.
  • Analyzed modulation of the p-band centre.
  • Fluorination alters the electronic structure of nitrogen-doped carbon.
  • Hydrophobicity is enhanced by fluorine, improving CO2 reduction efficiency.

Abstract

We exploit fluorine's electronegativity and hydrophobicity to tune the electronic structure and microenvironment of nitrogen-doped carbon. Fluorine selectively modulates the p-orbital of pyridinic nitrogen, shifting its p-band centre to lower...
