Abstract

In this study, black phosphorus (BP) was prepared via the high-energy ball milling method, and two-dimensional (2D) BP was further fabricated using the liquid-phase stripping approach. Nano TiO2 was synthesized via the sol-gel method, and it was combined with black phosphene through N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) medium by a straightforward solution mixing process to produce BP/ TiO2 composite photocatalyst. Subsequently, spectrophotometric analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) were conducted. The band gap of BP was calculated using the Tauc plot method. The results revealed that the values are 1.06 eV and 1.23 eV, corresponding to the band gap emissions of four-and three-layer BP band gap emission, indicating the successful preparation of few layers of black phosphorus. The HRTEM analysis demonstrated that the BP/ TiO2 composite photocatalyst formed a relatively stable crystalline state.
