Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual. ! Overexposure is unlikely in this form. ! Not normally a hazard due to the physical form of product. The material is a physical irritant to the gastro-intestinal tract. EYE ! Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives), direct contact with the eye may cause transient discomfort characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn). Slight abrasive damage may also result. ! Experiments in which a 20-percent aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid (hydrogen fluoride) was instilled into the eyes of rabbits caused immediate damage in the form of total corneal opacification and conjunctival ischemia; within an hour, corneal stroma edema occurred, followed by necrosis of anterior ocular structures. SKIN ! Skin contact is not thought to have harmful health effects (as classified under EC Directives); the material may still produce health damage following entry through wounds, lesions or abrasions. ! There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause inflammation of the skin on contact in some persons. ! Irritation and skin reactions are possible with sensitive skin. ! Fluorides are easily absorbed through the skin and cause death of soft tissue and erode bone. Healing is delayed and death of tissue may continue to spread beneath skin. ! Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material. ! Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected. ! Excessive use or prolonged contact may lead to defatting, drying and irritation of sensitive skin. INHALED ! There is some evidence to suggest that the material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The body's response to such irritation can cause further lung damage. ! Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, may incur further disability if excessive concentrations of particulate are inhaled. If prior damage to the circulatory or nervous systems has occurred or if kidney damage has been sustained, proper screenings should be conducted on individuals who may be exposed to further risk if handling and use of the material result in excessive exposures. ! Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product. CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS ! Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated or long-term occupational exposure. Long term exposure to high dust concentrations may cause changes in lung function i.e. pneumoconiosis; caused by particles less than 0.5 micron penetrating and remaining in the lung. Prime symptom is breathlessness; lung shadows show on X-ray. Extended exposure to inorganic fluorides causes fluorosis, which includes signs of joint pain and stiffness, tooth discolouration, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhoea or constipation, weight loss, anaemia, weakness and general unwellness. There may also be frequent urination and thirst. Redness, itchiness and allergy-like inflammation of the skin and mouth cavity can occur. The central nervous system may be involved. 2 of 17 Section 3 - COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS NAME CAS RN % poly(carbon monofluoride) 51311-17-2 >98 High heat may produce hydrogen fluoride 7664-39-3 carbonyl fluoride 353-50-4 perfluoroisobutylene 382-21-8 Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES SWALLOWED If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration. Observe the patient carefully. Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious. EYE If this product comes in contact with the eyes Wash out immediately with fresh running water. Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel. SKIN If skin contact occurs Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). Seek medical attention in event of irritation. In case of burns Immediately apply cold water to burn either by immersion or wrapping with saturated clean cloth. DO NOT remove or cut away clothing over burnt areas. DO NOT pull away clothing which has adhered to the skin as this can cause further injury. DO NOT break blister or remove solidified material. Quickly cover wound with dressing or clean cloth to help prevent infection and to ease pain. INHALED If dust is inhaled, remove from contaminated area. Encourage patient to blow nose to ensure clear breathing passages. Ask patient to rinse mouth with water but to not drink water. Seek immediate medical attention. NOTES TO PHYSICIAN ! Treat symptomatically. For acute or short term repeated exposures to fluorides Fluoride absorption from gastro-intestinal tract may be retarded by calcium salts, milk or antacids. Fluoride particulates or fume may be absorbed through the respiratory tract with 20-30% deposited at alveolar level. Peak serum levels are reached 30 mins. post-exposure; 50% appears in the urine within 24 hours. For acute poisoning (endotracheal intubation if inadequate tidal volume), monitor breathing and evaluate/monitor blood pressure and pulse frequently since shock may supervene with little warning. Monitor ECG immediately; watch for arrhythmias and evidence of Q-T prolongation or T-wave changes. Maintain monitor. Treat shock vigorously with isotonic saline (in 5% glucose) to restore blood volume and enhance renal 3 of 17 excretion. Treat symptomatically. Pyrolysis products of this material may produce an influenza-like syndrome in man, lasting 24-48 hours.

  • Carbon – Element of Many Faces 1
    1 1 Carbon – Element of Many Faces The sixth in the periodic table of elements is, at the same time, among the most important ones. With about 180 ppm, carbon is only 17th on the list of terrestrial elements ’ frequency, situated even after barium or sulfur – for comparison, the second - most frequent element, silicon, is about 1300 times as abundant as carbon. Still the latter is essential for the assembly of all organic matter. It is predestined for this central role especially due to its mid position in the periodic system and its associated ability to form stable substances with more electropositive and more electronegative reaction partners. Yet in the present text the organic chemistry resulting from these various bonding possibilities will only be mentioned if it is employed to modify carbon materials or, to put it in other words, the element itself as a material will be in the focus. Another feature that gave reason to write this book was the occurrence of various allotrope modifi cations with in parts completely opposite properties. For the time being, this renders carbon one of the most interesting topics in materials science and research. Be it fullerenes, nanotubes or nanocrystalline diamond phases – they all are subject to intensive investigation and promise a multitude of applications, for example, in electronics, medicine, and nanotechnology. Nevertheless, it is hardly possible to assess the development within the last two decades and to perceive its impact on the multitalented carbon ’ s perspectives in chemistry, material science, and physics, without an understanding of its long - known modifi cations, mainly graphite and diamond.

  • Lithium Cell Technology and Safety Report of the Tri-Service Lithium Safety Committee
    LITHIUM CELL TECHNOLOGY AND SAFETY REPORTOF THE TRI-SERVICE LITHIUM SAFETY COMMITTEE E. Reiss ERADCOM What I would like to talk to you about today is theTri-Service Lithium Safety Committee. This is a fairly small phaseof a many-faceted problem that faceall of us here. This particular committee was initiated in September 1977 when representatives of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force recognized that the lithium batteries are becoming the major military power source and that procedures should be establishedso that lithium batteries may be safely and responsibly employed. (Figure 1-29) This committee suggested that a tri-service groupbe established for the purpose of exchang- ing information on lithium batteries. (Figure 1-30) There is a fourfold purpose. The first was to exchange information on lithium batteries. Another area was to examine common areas of concern to the threeservices. The third was to provide guidance to the users. And the last was to set up common procedures where applicable, for the safe handling, deployment anddisposal of lithium batteries. (Figure 1-3 1 ) Formally, this committee was organized in December 1977 as Lithium Battery Safety Group under the Joint Deputies for Laboratories Committee, Subpanel on Batteries and FuelCell Tech- nologies. (Figure 1-32) Under a joint memorandum of agreement on batteries and fuelcell technologies, the Army is designated as the joint service focal point for lithium batteries and was appointed as the head of the safety group. By July 1978, a charter for the groupwas officially accepted and extended to include NASA, the Department of Transportation, and other governmentagencies.

    Edge-Propagation Discharge Mechanism in CFx Batteries – a First Principles and Experimental Study Kevin Leung,1∗ Noah B. Schorr,1 Matthew Mayer,2 Timothy N. Lambert,1 Y. Shirley Meng,2 and Katharine L. Harrison1 1Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM 87185, United States [email protected] 2NanoEngineering, University of California at San Diego (Dated: July 6, 2021) Abstract Graphite fluoride (CFx) cathodes coupled with lithium anodes yield one of the highest theoretical specific capacities (>860 mAh/g) among primary batteries. In practice, the observed discharge voltage (∼2.5 V) is significantly lower than thermodynamic limits (>4.5 V), the discharge rate is low, and so far Li/CFx has only been used in primary batteries. Understanding the discharge mechanism at atomic length scales will improve practical CFx energy density, rate capability, and rechargeability. So far, purely experimental techniques have not identified the correct discharge mechanism or explained the discharge voltage. We apply Density Functional Theory calculations to demonstrate that a CFx-edge propagation discharge mechanism based on lithium insertion at the CF/C boundary in partially discharged CFx exhibits a voltage range of 2.5 to 2.9 V — depending on whether solvent molecules are involved. The voltages and solvent dependence agrees arXiv:2107.01289v1 [cond-mat.mtrl-sci] 2 Jul 2021 with our discharge and galvanostatic intermittent titration technique measurements. The predicted discharge kinetics are consistent with CFx operations. Finally, we predict Li/CFx rechargeability under the application of high potentials, along a charging pathway different from that of discharge. Our work represents a general, quasi-kinetic framework to understand the discharge of conversion cathodes, circumventing the widely used phase diagram approach which most likely does not apply to Li/CFx because equilibrium conditions are not attained in this system.

Robinett Professor of Physics Director of Graduate Studies *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Graphene is a novel carbon structure with excellent electronic properties. This dissertation is devoted to the exploration of two graphene related studies: the influence of an amorphous silica substrate on a graphene field effect transistor (FET) and the properties of chemically modified graphene structures with fluorination. The study of the effect of an amorphous silica substrate on a single graphene layer is interesting since a silicon wafer with thermally grown amorphous silica is commonly used as the substrate for graphene FET devices. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the silica substrate induces a charge transfer to the graphene layer due to surface states of the amorphous silica. The intrinsic n-doping of the graphene is confirmed by the experimental studies of our collaborators.

    , RM E57E02 RESEARCH MEMORANDUM REAC TION OF FLUORINE WITH CARBON AS A MEANS OF Q, FLUORINE DISPOSAL I , By Harold W . Schmi dt Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory Cleveland , Ohio NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR AERONAUTICS WASHINGTON WASHINGTON July 18 , 1957 NACA RM E57E02 NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR AERONAUTICS RESEARCH MEMORANDUM REACTION OF FLUORINE WITH CARBON AS A MEANS OF FLUORINE DISPOSAL By Harold W. Schmidt SUMMARY An experimental investigation has shown that amorphous carbon, such as wood charcoal, is readily applicable to fluorine disposal by the chemical reaction C + F2 ~ CF4 , C2F6, C3FS' C4F10 .... The gaseous fluorocarbons formed are chemically inert and may be vented directly to the atmosphere. The method is simple and economical. Fluorine and fluorine-oxygen and fluorine-nitrogen mixtures containing as little as 6.5 percent fluorine reacted spontaneously with fresh dry charcoal. Fluorine and fluorine-oxygen mixtures were consumed at rates • up to 25 pounds per hour in an experimental portable reactor containing 6 cubic feet of charcoal. No rate limit was reached. Quantitative measurements of residual fluorine in the exhaust products ranged from 20.1 to a maximum of 77.5 parts per million. Absorbed moisture in the charcoal may reduce efficiency to some extent. Even so, the product gases were very low in residual fluorine, as evidenced by only slight discoloration of potassium iodide indicator paper. Although literature references have indicated that graphitized carbon can produce explosive carbon monofluoride by absorption of fluorine, no explosions were encountered in the present work with charcoal. INTRODUCTION Use of liquid or gaseous fluorine often involves disposal of small quantities of excess or residual material remaining in the system.
