Chemical Vapor Transport Route toward Black Phosphorus Nanobelts and Nanoribbons

Chemical vapor transport (CVT) method is widely used for bulk black phosphorus (BP) fabrication. In this work, we demonstrate that CVT provides a route for the fabrication of BP nanoribbons and nanobelts. This method consists of a two-step procedure, including initial BP column growth using the CVT technique, followed by ultrasonic treatment and centrifugation. The obtained nanostructures preserve BP column dimensions, forming ultralong ribbon-like structures with the length to the width aspect ratio of up to 500. Computational modeling of the growth mechanism of a BP flake is also presented in support of the observed columnar growth. Calculation of the average energy of the molecule in the asymmetric flakes shows that the growth of the structure in the zigzag direction is more energetically favorable than in the armchair direction.
