Exfoliation and re-aggregation mechanisms of black phosphorus: A molecular dynamics study

Strategies to improve electrocatalytic and photocatalytic performance of two-dimensional materials for hydrogen evolution reaction

“…The participation of surfactants has a great impact on the stripping effect. Benabdallah et al [147] elucidated the influence of solvents on the peeling of black phosphorus, and found that the constraint energy of solution is the most important factor in the peeling of layered materials.…”

Redispersion mechanisms of 2D nanosheets: combined role of intersheet contact and surface chemistry

“…10 In some scenarios, however, the dispersion of the nanosheets would suffer from agglomeration, where the nanosheets are stuck to flocs during the fabrication processes or applications. 11,12 For instance, aggregation or restacking of nanosheets occurs when the surface charges are diminished, thereby leading to insufficient repulsive forces that could hold the colloidal stability under aqueous conditions. 13 Unwanted aggregation will largely decrease the accessible surface area and density of edge sites, and thus lose important features of 2D nanosheets and severely hinder their practical applications.…”

Black-phosphorus crystal growth model deduced from the product distribution state under different process factors

“…17 Phosphorene or a few-layered BP that is prepared by interlayer dissociation and exfoliation shows the best performance. [18][19][20] In the initial study, gold foils, Sn particles, and SnI 4 (ref. 21) or AuSn-SnI 4 (ref.…”
