Functionalization and Doping of Black Phosphorus

Alkali metal doping of black phosphorus monolayer for ultrasensitive capture and detection of nitrogen dioxide

“…The methodology for the construction of the sensors is given in the Supplementary Information. Several modifiers, including transition metal (TM) elements, have been examined in the phosphorene functionalization and doping, as reviewed elsewhere 13 . Here, we have chosen the lightest members of the alkali metals, being among the ten most abundant elements in Earth crust 37 .…”

Synthesis, modification, and application of black phosphorus, few-layer black phosphorus (FLBP), and phosphorene: a detailed review

“…For instance, phosphorene can bind with soft materials, forming an advanced functionalized material. 133,134 Kumar et al, in their work, reported the functionalization of phosphorene with an artificial helical copolymer (a polypeptide). The composition of the biocompatible polypeptide with BP nanosheets could be suitable for biomedical devices for drug delivery and sensors.…”

“…The main advantages of using such materials include (i) the passivation and encapsulation of BP nanosheets, (ii) their electronic interaction with BP nanosheets, (iii) the fabrication of BP in devices without sacrificing their inherent properties, and (iv) the protection of BP nanosheets from atmospheric oxygen. 133 In another study, Pumera et al reported the functionalization of BPSE (shear exfoliated BP) using non-covalent anthraquinone (AQ). In this process, BP and AQ were first exfoliated and then suspended in methanol, leading to the formation of a carbon-based layer in the BPSE-AQ sample with a lower oxidation rate which can be proven by XPS.…”

Chemistry of Phosphorene: Synthesis, Functionalization and Biomedical Applications in an Update Review

“…Covalent functionalization could modify the intrinsic properties of phosphorene, while non-covalent modification has the advantage of avoiding degradation of the electronic structure of the original material. It was recently proved that phosphorene is able to anchor a wide type of soft materials [46] and, in this regard, an interesting book chapter on phosphorene functionalization was recently published by Ghambarian et al [47].…”
