Black Phosphorus

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials ((ENG.MAT.))

Abstract

As a new two-dimensional material, black phosphorus (BP) has a direct band gap that can be controlled with the change of the number of layers, good light absorption rate and excellent electron mobility making it a good application in the field of photodetectors. To date, many studies on BP photodetectors have been reported and have demonstrated excellent photoresponsive performance. Here, we have a comprehensive summary and review of research reports on BP-based photodetectors. We first briefly summarize the structural characteristics, optical and electronic properties of BP. Then BP-based photodetectors are divided into three categories according to the structure of the material and the configuration of the device (BP photodetectors, BP heterojunction photodetectors, photoelectrochemical (PEC)-type BP photodetectors) for summary and description. Finally, the research status of BP-based photodetectors is summarized, and its future development direction is prospected. The content of this chapter can give readers a comprehensive understanding of BP-based photodetectors, and has certain guiding significance for the further development of photodetectors.
