Role of Edge Reconstruction in the Synthesis of Few-Layer Black Phosphorene

Recent advancements in preparing few-layer black phosphorene (BP) are hindered by edge reconstruction challenges. Our previous studies have revealed the factors contributing to the difficulty of growing few-layer BP. In this study, we have successfully identified three reconstructed edges in bi- and multilayer BP through a combination of the crystal structure analysis by particle swarm optimization (CALYPSO) global structure search and density functional theory (DFT). Notably, the reconstruction between adjacent layers proves more beneficial than self-passivation or maintaining pristine edges. Among the reconstructed edges, the reconstructed ZZ edge is the most stable, regardless of the number of layers. Calculated electronic band structures reveal a significant transition in the electronic properties of black phosphorus nanoribbons (BPNRs), changing from metallic to semiconducting. This insight not only enhances the understanding of the fundamental properties of BP but also provides valuable theoretical guidance for the experimental growth of BPNRs or black phosphorus nanowires (BPNWs).
