Interface and surface engineering of black phosphorus: a review for optoelectronic and photonic applications
doi: 10.1088/2752-5724/ac49e3

Abstract: Since being rediscovered as an emerging 2D material, black phosphorus (BP), with an extraordinary energy structure and unusually strong interlayer interactions, offers new opportunities for optoelectronics and photonics. However, due to the thin atomic body and the ease of degradation with water and oxides, BP is highly sensitive to the surrounding environment. Therefore, high-quality engineering of interfaces and surfaces plays an essential role in BP-based applications. In this review, begun with a review of properties of BP, different strategies of interface and surfaces engineering for high ON-OFF ratio, enhanced optical absorption, and fast optical response are reviewed and highlighted, and recent state-of-the-art advances on optoelectronic and photonic devices are demonstrated. Finally, the opportunities and challenges for future BP-related research are considered.
