Crystalline phosphorus fibers: controllable synthesis and visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity

Abstract

An efficient method is developed for the synthesis of single crystalline fibrous phosphorus submicron materials. Via the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique, fibrous phosphorus fibers with diameters from ∼150 nm to 2 μm were prepared directly from amorphous red phosphorus. The as-prepared fibrous phosphorus exhibited interesting photocatalytic properties.
