摘要: Black phosphorus is a monatomic semiconducting layered material that degrades exothermically in the presence of light and ambient contaminants. Its degradation dynamics remain largely unknown. Even before degradation, local-probe studies indicate non-negligible local curvature—through nonconstant height distribution—due to unavoidable intrinsic defects. We establish these defects are photo-oxidation sites because they lower chemisorption barrier ideal black (>10 eV out visible-range excitations) right into visible ultraviolet range (1.6 6.8 eV), thus enabling photoinduced oxidation dissociation oxygen dimers. A full characterization material’s shape its electronic properties at early stages process presented as well. This study provides fundamental insights this novel material.
