Effect of covalent functionalisation with isocyanates on the electrochemical properties of exfoliated black phosphorus electrodes.

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the covalent functionalisation of few-layer black phosphorus (FLBP) using isocyanates to overcome its inherent susceptibility to oxidation, which limits its application in electrochemical devices. Key synthesis parameters affecting protection efficacy include reactant concentration, ultrasonic irradiation parameters, and solvent selection. While higher reactant concentrations enhance surface coverage, excessive functionalisation impedes interfacial charge transfer. Ultrasonic treatment facilitates optimal reactant-surface interactions, significantly improving electrochemical stability. Comparative solvent analysis indicates acetonitrile outperforms N, N-dimethylformamide in preserving electrochemical performance while enhancing protection against degradation. The re
