Abstract

Due to their low greenhouse effect and exceptional insulating properties, C 4 F 7 N-CO 2 gas mixtures have garnered significant attention. In particular, understanding the decomposition characteristics of C 4 F 7 N-CO 2 is crucial for their practical use as an eco-friendly dielectric medium. At elevated temperatures, the pyrolysis of C 4 F 7 N produces high concentrations of CFN, CF 3 , and C 2 F 2 , along with lower levels of C 3 F 5 , C 4 F 6 N, C 2 F, and CN. A further increase in temperature may lead to the decomposition of CO 2 into CO and additional components such as C 2 , C 2 F 3 , C 3 F 4 , C 4 F 7 and C 3 F 6 , CF, CO, C 3 F 7 , C 3 F 2 , C 3 F, C 3 F 3 , C 3 F 3 N, C 3 , CF 2 , and CF 2 N. Under electrical discharge conditions, the decomposition of CO 2 becomes more pronounced, forming products like CO, C 2 O, O 2 , C 2 O 2 , and C 2 O 4 , with up to 25 decomposition components observed. These include products originated from both C 4 F 7 N and CO 2 and their combinations. In ultra-high electric field intensities, only small molecules such as O 2 , C 2 , C 3 , and N 2 are detected among the decomposition products. This study aims to provide theoretical insights and valuable data to advance research into the decomposition behavior and practical engineering applications of C 4 F 7 N-CO 2 gas mixtures under extreme conditions.
