Abstract

Owing to its unique material properties, monolayer phosphorene has been previously predicted to be useful in advancing rechargeable battery technology forward. However, practical applications of phosphorene are currently hindered due to its weak ambient stability stemming from oxygen dissociation. In this paper, using density functional theory-based calculations, the authors identified lattice compression as a promising approach towards inhibiting singlet O${}_{2}$ dissociation on phosphorene. This approach has the potential to significantly improve the ambient stability of phosphorene, and realize it as a material for developing green technologies.
