A PEDOT:PSS nanocomposite film doped with black phosphorus modified with silver nanoparticles for wearable photothermoelectric generators

Abstract

Photothermoelectric (PTE) materials have gained significant attention as a promising avenue for converting light into electricity. Herein, the PTE properties of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) are enhanced by introducing black phosphorus (BP)...

Enhanced Catalytic Activity of Crystalline Phosphorus Nanosheets Fabricated via Solvothermal Phase Transformation

“…Solvothermal approach, a broadly employed synthesis technique, manufactures massive amounts of commercial products in a safe and reliable manner. Therefore, the solvothermal synthesis of phosphorus was enthusiastically embraced once reported, producing numerous allotropes such as amorphous and crystalline red phosphorus (RP), − BP, , and BP/RP heterophase junction, , which are suitable for energetic, ,, environmental, therapeutic, sensing, photothermoelectric, and catalytic applications. − However, due to the complicated phosphorus–solvent interactions and unconfirmed molecular structures of certain allotropes, the crystallization of solvothermally synthesized P remains a “black box,” with the mechanism(s) yet to be revealed. This undoubtedly hinders the a priori design and property upgrade of these materials.…”
