Abstract:
Phosphorene is a novel two-dimensional material that is more advanced than graphene. This material possesses excellent physical, chemical, and mechanical properties, which are useful for potential applications in a variety of electronic devices. Thus far, a comprehensive review on the latest fabrication methods, property tuning, and applications of phosphorene is lacking. Therefore, a comprehensive review of the synthetic methods, structures, properties, modification methods, and device applications of phosphorene has been presented. The preparation strategies of phosphorene including top-bottom and bottom-up methods have been introduced, followed by a summary of its structure and properties. The modification methods of phosphorene have also been discussed. Finally, the applications of phosphorene in electronic devices have been discussed in detail. Future prospects and potential research areas of phosphorene have also been presented in this review.
