Fluorination of surfaces is an effective strategy for inhibiting corrosion and blocking redox reactions, but the toxicity of fluorinated compounds mandates that their concentrations be minimized. Here we discuss the permeabilities of self-assembled monolayers of fluorinated aliphatic compounds on semiconductor quantum dots, and their use as CO2 concentrating layers to enhance the photocatalytic activity of the particles for CO2 reduction.
