Phase-selective synthesis and polymorphic transformation of crystalline red phosphorus.

ABSTRACT: Recent advances in black phosphorus have renewed interest in elemental phosphorus, sparking a resurgence in the study of its allotropes, especially crystalline red phosphorus (RP). Although progress has been made in synthesizing various crystalline RP phases, current strategies often rely on specific precursor formulations, limiting their scalability for industrial applications. A unified gas-phase method enabling phase-selective synthesis under consistent conditions remains elusive, and the underlying mechanisms governing polymorphic transformations are not yet fully understood. Herein, we achieve the phase-selective synthesis of crystalline RP powders via a solid-phase thermal transformation (STT) method. Extensive experiments were conducted to elucidate the synthetic mechanism of the ST
