Scalable Clean Exfoliation of High‐Quality Few‐Layer Black Phosphorus for a Flexible Lithium Ion Battery

Abstract

Few-layer black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets that are clean and of high quality, are efficiently produced by exfoliating bulk BP crystals, which are prepared by a scalable gas-phase catalytic transformation method in water. They are stable enough in water for further processing and applications. As an example, these BP nanosheets are combined with graphene to give high-performance flexible lithium-ion batteries.
