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>
