C4F7N [2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)propanenitrile]/CO2 gas mixtures are being developed as an eco-friendly electrical insulator to replace SF6, the most potent greenhouse industrial gaseous dielectric. However, recent studies have reported complicated and often conflicting decomposition pathways for C4F7N/CO2 gas mixtures, which has raised concerns. In this work, the decomposition characteristics of C4F7N/CO2 gas mixtures were studied comprehensively by both designed computations and experiments. Computations were performed starting from fundamental propositions of C4F7N/CO2 decompositions, which were further experimentally verified by pyrolysis, long-term thermal aging with/without catalytic materials (industrial-grade molecular sieves 4A), and electrical decomposition by spark discharge. The results of both computations and experiments suggest that in an ideal thermal decomposition, C4F7N is likely to decompose into C2F6 and small fluoronitriles first at high temperatures. The generation of C3F6 and C2N2 from C4F7N thermal decomposition at lower temperatures appears because of the catalytic effect of incompatible materials, for example, the industrial-grade molecular sieves 4A that we tested. The electron impact dissociation of C4F7N plays an important role in C4F7N electrical decomposition, leading to additional formation of distinctive small molecules of CF4 and C2N2 of low concentrations. It was pointed out based on a real arcing test in a load disconnector that the decomposition of C4F7N gas mixtures in real applications will be at a much moderate and manageable rate than what was obtained from the highly accelerated laboratory tests presented in this work. The signatures of decomposition products extracted in this study provide invaluable guidance for developing decomposition-based diagnosis and fixation of decomposition byproducts toward SF6-free power grids.
