Graphical Abstract (8.25 cm x 4.45 cm)
The reaction mechanisms behind the reductive fluorination of WO3 using
polytetrafluoroethylene have been explored under varied reaction conditions (temperature,
duration, and F/W ratio) to suppress the formation of carbon byproducts, minimize the
dissipation of fluorine-containing tungsten (VI) compounds, and achieve a high fluorine
content.
