Features of the Synthesis of Few-Layer Phosphorene Structures During Plasma Electrochemical Cleavage of Black Phosphorus

A comparative study of the emission spectra of cathode electrolysis plasma during plasma electrochemical cleavage of black phosphorus and graphite under maximally identical experimental conditions has been carried out. A significantly lower concentration of active intermediates (OH radicals and O atoms) in the electrolysis plasma during the cleavafe of black phosphorus was found compared with a graphite electrode. It is assumed that this effect is due to a significantly higher rate of interaction of these intermediates with synthesized phosphorene structures than with graphene-like particles. This is confirmed by the detection of a much higher oxygen content in the products of black phosphorus cleavage than in synthesized carbon nanoparticles.
