New way to exfoliate phosphorene is no flake - Materials Today
Over the past two years, phosphorene has attracted increased attention due to its potential for use in thin, flexible electronics. And because it is a natural semiconductor, phosphorene holds promise where miracle material graphene falls short.
"There has been a decade-long attempt to make graphene semiconducting," said Northwestern University's Mark Hersam. "Our group and others have tried to do it with limited success. So why not just use a material that is already a semiconductor?"
