Abstract:
Black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) have been prepared by a high turbulent shear rate generated from a household kitchen blender. A layer-by-layer disintegration mechanism of bulk BP crystals is suggested. As-synthesized BPQDs have shown excellent humidity sensing and photothermal converting properties. Importantly, this work not only explores potential applications for the BPQDs but also provides a successful paradigm for preparing the QDs of other layered materials.
