研究目的
To investigate the effect of nitrogen doping on the structural, optical, and electrochemical properties of electrosynthesized phosphorene quantum dots (PQDs) and their nitrogen-doped counterparts (NPQDs).
研究成果
Nitrogen doping enhances the quantum efficiency and redox behavior of PQDs, with potential applications in electrocatalysis, molecular electronics, sensors, and bioimaging. The method is generic for doping other two-dimensional materials, opening new opportunities for van der Waals heterostructures.
研究不足
The electrochemical approach has a limitation of poor yield, which can be mitigated by using larger area electrodes or increasing reaction time. Additionally, precise control over nitrogen content and size distribution was challenging.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A room-temperature electrochemical approach was used to synthesize PQDs and NPQDs from black phosphorus (BP). Nitrogen doping was achieved in situ using nitrogen-containing electrolyte and/or supporting electrolyte.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
BP was used as the starting material, with PQDs synthesized in propylene carbonate and NPQDs in acetonitrile containing tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A three-electrode cell with a BP-coated glassy carbon working electrode, Pt wire quasi-reference electrode, and Pt mesh counter electrode was used.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
An electric field was applied to BP for exfoliation, followed by separation of the product from the electrolyte by centrifugation.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Structural, optical, and electrochemical properties were analyzed using TEM, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, UV-Visible and PL spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry.
