Semiconducting Black Phosphorus

<p>Black phosphorus (BP)-based two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are used as components in practical industrial applications in biomedicine electronics and photonics. There is a need to controllably shape engineered scalable structures of 2D BP building blocks and their assembly/organization is desired for the formation of three-dimensional (3D) forms such as macro and hybrid architectures as it is expected that these architectures will deliver even better materials performance in applications. <i>Semiconducting Black Phosphorus: From 2D Nanomaterial to Emerging 3D Architecture</i> provides an overview of the various synthetic strategies for 2D BP single-layer nanomaterials their scalable synthesis properties and assemblies into 3D architecture. The book</p><p> covers defect engineering and physical properties of black phosphorous;</p><p> describes different strategies for the development of 2D nanostructures of BP with other species such as polymers organic molecules and other inorganic materials;</p><p> offers a comparative study of 3D BP structures with other 3D architectures such as dichalcogenides (TMDs graphene and boron nitride); and</p><p> discusses in detail applications of 3D macrostructures of BP in various fields such as energy biomedical and catalysis.</p><p>This is an essential reference for researchers and advanced students in materials science and chemical optoelectronic and electrical engineering.</p>
