Abstract

The poor environmental stability of black phosphorous (BP) seriously limits its practical applications in (opto)electronics. Other than capping protective layers on its surface, herein we propose a new strategy to improve BP's ambient stability by engineering the interlayer interactions. Our first-principles calculations demonstrate that enlarging the interlayer spacing can effectively shift the conduction band minimum down to suppress the generation of superoxide and the enlargement can be achieved by intercalating small molecules like H2 and He into BP. Moreover, the molecule intercalated BP maintains high hole mobility, which makes it a better two-dimensional semiconductor for practical applications.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
