Background
Two-dimensional materials, refers to materials in which electrons can move freely (planar motion) only in two dimensions, on a non-nanoscale (1-100nm), such as a nano-film. Graphene was first produced in 2004 by the tape method by two scientists of the university of manchester, england, andem, and knowavlov. Thereafter, a series of quasi-two-dimensional materials, such as black phosphorus (phospholene), silylene, germanene, stibene, boron nitride, molybdenum disulfide, etc., having a thickness of only a single atomic layer were successively found.
Bismuth ene (Bismuthene) is a two-dimensional material exfoliated from bulk metallic bismuth, having a graphene-like structure. However, the bismuth-alkene is a direct band-gap semiconductor with an energy gap of 0.306eV (the bottom of a conduction band and the top of a valence band are at the same position), can be directly coupled with light, and has a wide absorption spectrum range. In addition, bismuth has strong biocompatibility and low biological toxicity, so that bismuth has wide application potential in the aspects of optics, electrics, biological medicine and pharmacology and the like. The two-dimensional bismuth-alkene lamellar structure is a potential biomedical substrate material in the fields of biological medicine carrying, photo-thermal, photodynamic therapy and the like.
At present, the lamellar bismuth-alkene material is prepared by a mechanical stripping method (such as a transparent adhesive tape tearing method), a chemical vapor deposition method and other technologies. However, the flaky bismuth-alkene material prepared by the mechanical stripping method has low yield, is not suitable for commercial production, and has the disadvantages of complex operation and long time consumption; the chemical vapor deposition method is less in the amount of the prepared bismuth alkene and is not easy to repeat.
