New study expands understanding of CF3H formation from HFCs and HFOs/HCFOs
2023-11-22
Most HFOs and HCFOs decompose in the troposphere via an intermediate product which then breaks down further. Experimental work, published in 2022, demonstrated that CF3H (HFC-23) is not formed during the decomposition of HFOs and HCFOs in the troposphere. In this follow-up study [1], the potential formation of CF3H has been investigated under conditions that occur in the stratosphere, where shorter wavelength more energetic radiation occurs.
