Popis: Carbon-phosphides are new and promising strategic materials with applications e.g. in optoelectronics. However, their chemistry and methods of synthesis are not completely understood, and only a limited number of C-P clusters have been detected up to now. Laser ablation synthesis (LAS) or laser desorption ionisation (LDI) has great potential to generate CThe LAS of carbon phosphides using mixtures of nano-carbon sources (graphene, nanodiamonds) with phosphorus allotropes (red, black, and phosphorene) was examined. Since phosphorene is not commercially available, it was synthesised. A reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer was used to produce and identify the C-P clusters. A transmission electron microscope was used to characterise the prepared composites.LDI of various carbon-phosphorus composites generated a range of carbon-phosphides. From graphene-red phosphorus, CThe novel series of carbon-phosphide clusters generated from graphene or nanodiamond composites with red/black phosphorus or with phosphorene demonstrated rich carbon-phosphide chemistry that might inspire the development of novel nano-materials with specific properties.
