    Abstract:
    Black phosphorus (BP) has drawn great attention owing to its tunable band gap depending on thickness, high mobility, and large Ion/ Ioff ratio, which makes BP attractive for using in future two-dimensional electronic and optoelectronic devices. However, its instability under ambient conditions poses challenge to the research and limits its practical applications. In this work, we present a feasible approach to suppress the degradation of BP by sulfur (S) doping. The fabricated S-doped BP few-layer field-effect transistors (FETs) show more stable transistor performance under ambient conditions. After exposing to air for 21 days, the charge-carrier mobility of a representative S-doped BP FETs device decreases from 607 to 470 cm2 V-1 s-1 (remained as high as 77.4%) under ambient conditions and a large Ion/ Ioff ratio of ∼103 is still retained. The atomic force microscopy analysis, including surface morphology, thickness, and roughness, also indicates the lower degradation rate of S-doped BP compared to BP. First-principles calculations show that the dopant S atom energetically prefers to chemisorb on the BP surface in a dangling form and the enhanced stability of S-doped BP can be ascribed to the downshift of the conduction band minimum of BP below the redox potential of O2/O2-. Our work suggests that S doping is an effective way to enhance the stability of black phosphorus.
