Toughening graphene with black phosphorus

Peer-Reviewed Publication

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Researchers report the fabrication of films consisting of graphene oxide nanosheets covalently bonded to black phosphorus nanosheets, which fill the voids in graphene and form strong interactions between adjacent nanosheets, increasing the film's compactness and alignment degree compared with pure graphene oxide films; the films exhibited high toughness, excellent electrical conductivity, high ambient stability, and good electromagnetic shielding performance, according to the authors.
