The beneficial effects of the present invention are demonstrated by the following examples:
example (b):
an electrochemical preparation method of a few-layer black phosphorus nanosheet is realized according to the following steps:
firstly, dissolving ammonium salt in a polar aprotic solvent, and uniformly mixing to obtain an electrolyte;
secondly, placing the blocky black phosphorus in a platinum sheet electrode clamp of a double-electrode system, keeping a working distance with a platinum sheet electrode, then placing the blocky black phosphorus in a glass electrolytic cell filled with the electrolyte, and applying a circulating voltage to the blocky black phosphorus by taking the blocky black phosphorus as a cathode to obtain an electrolyzed material;
and thirdly, carrying out ultrasonic dispersion on the electrolyzed material, then carrying out centrifugal washing, collecting supernatant and carrying out vacuum drying to obtain the few-layer black phosphorus nanosheet, thus completing the preparation method.
In step one of this example, the ammonium salt is tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate.
In the first step of this embodiment, the polar aprotic solvent is DMSO.
In the first step of this embodiment, the concentration of the electrolyte is 0.05M.
In the second step of this embodiment, the working distance is 2 cm.
In the second step of this embodiment, the cyclic voltage is 1V to-5V, and the application time is 90 min.
The time for ultrasonic dispersion in step three of this example was 5 min.
The centrifugation in step three of this example was performed 3 times with DMSO and absolute ethanol, respectively.
In the third step of this example, the rotation speed of the centrifugal washing is 10000r/min, and the time is 30 min.
The temperature of vacuum drying in step three of this example was 60 ℃ for 12 hours.
In the preparation process of the few-layer black phosphorus nanosheet prepared in the embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, as the energization time increases (in fig. 1, the part a is 0min, the part b is 5min, the part c is 10min, and the part d is 15min), the volume of the blocky black phosphorus expands obviously, black powder falls off, and the color of the solution gradually becomes dark.
The CV diagram of the few-layer black phosphorus nanosheet prepared in this example is shown in FIG. 2, and it can be seen that the peak of the peak at about-0.5V is related to TBA+Clear cathodic peak current associated with cation intercalation, indicating TBA+The cation was successfully inserted into the bulk BP, which appeared from TBA during the reverse scan at around-0.5V+New peaks due to cation deintercalation.
As shown in fig. 3, it can be seen that with the application of voltage, the layered structure of black phosphorus is gradually opened, the gap between layers is gradually expanded into an accordion shape, the expanded gap is favorable for further permeation of cations, and finally the BP nanosheet is stripped off.
In a TEM image of the few-layer black phosphorus nanosheet prepared in this example, as shown in fig. 4, it can be seen that the block black phosphorus is exfoliated into an ultrathin black phosphorus nanosheet with a large transverse dimension and a complete structure.
The black phosphorus nanosheet material is prepared by the method which is high in preparation efficiency (high in macroscopic speed), controllable in current and voltage and simple in preparation process and equipment; the obtained few-layer black phosphorus nanosheet is high in yield, large in transverse size, complete in structure and suitable for industrial popularization.
