Synthesis of Black Phosphorene/ P-rich Transition Metal Phosphides NiP3
Heterostructure and its Effect on the Stabilization of Black Phosphorene
Abstract
The black phosphorus (BP) crystals and two-dimensional black phosphorus
(2D BP) are prepared from amorphous red phosphorus by mechanical ball
milling- liquid exfoliation method. The spectrophotometric analysis
shows that a few layers of 2D BP have been successfully prepared. Aiming
at the characteristics of 2D BP that was easily degraded in the natural
environment, a low-cost solvothermal method was used, and 2D BP and
nickel chloride are used as raw materials to prepare a green and
pollution-free transition metal phosphide (TMPs) heterojunction was
prepared. Metal ions are preferentially deposited on the defects of 2D
BP such as edges and unsaturated sites, forming a 2D BP / P-rich TMPs
in-plane heterojunction (BP / NiP3). It occupies the defects of BP
nanosheet to enhance its stability.
