摘要
As a new excellent semiconductor material, black phosphorus (BP) has wide application in nanodevices. Its stability can be improved by reducing edge unsaturated atoms. In this study, we investigated the self-assembly of a BP nanotube (BPNT) from a parallelogram ribbon driven by a C-60-encapsulated CNT (i.e., peapod). Effects of CNT radius, number of fullerenes, and temperature on the self-assembly results were evaluated by molecular dynamics simulations. Briefly, a BPNT can be formed from the same BP ribbon on a narrower CNT with more fullerenes at higher temperature. This will benefit potential application of the present method in fabrication of BPNTs.
