Carbon nano-onions (CNO) are made of concentric fullerene-like shells and range from double- and triple- to multilayered structures. They remain the least studied allotrope of carbon yet. In the present study, a one-step process for functionalization of CNO (50−100 nm diameter) by addition of fluorine through direct fluorination at variable temperatures is reported. The reactions of CNO at three different temperatures, 350, 410, and 480 °C, yield fluorinated nano-onions (F-NO) of approximately C10.1F, C3.3F, and C2.3F stoichiometry, respectively, representing a new family of nanoscale fluorocarbon materials. The F-NO were characterized by a set of materials characterization methods including FTIR, Raman, UV−vis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction, and thermal gravimetric analysis. SEM and TEM images show that even after breaking of the graphene layers in CNO by fluorine, the F-NO products retain the spherical onion-shaped morp...
