Black phosphorus (BP), a single elemental two-dimensional (2D) material with a sizable band gap, meets several critical material requirements in the development of future nanoelectronic applications. This work reports the ambipolar characteristics of few-layer BP, induced using 2D transparent hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) capping. The 2D h-BN capping have several advantages over conventional Al2O3 capping in flexible and transparent 2D device applications. The h-BN capping technique was used to achieve an electron mobility in the BP devices of 73 cm2V−1s−1, thereby demonstrating n-type behavior. The ambipolar BP devices exhibited ultrafast photodetector behavior with a very high photoresponsivity of 1980 mA/W over the ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared (IR) spectral ranges. The h-BN capping process offers a feasible approach to fabricating n-type behavior BP semiconductors and high photoresponse BP photodetectors.

The transition metals V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, W, Re, Os, Ir and Pt were deposited from aqueous solutions of their salts onto conventional γ-Al2O3 and unconventional TiO2 and ZrO2 supports by vacuum impregnation and characterized in their sulfided form by a model reaction of benzothiophene hydrodesulfurization. It was found that the TiO2 and ZrO2 supports influenced predominantly positively the resulting activity of relatively low-active metals (V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Mo, Ru, W and Os), whereas the highly active metals (Rh, Pd, Ir, Pt and Re) were influenced slightly negatively or not at all by those supports compared with the γ-Al2O3-supported system. A significant effect of the supports on the hydrodesulfurization-activity ranking of the transition-metal sulfides studied was ascertained.
