Density functional theory calculations of biomolecules adsorption on phosphorene for biomedical applications

Recent experimental studies have found that phosphorene, the two-dimensional counterpart of black phosphorus, is more biological-friendly, in comparison with graphene, for the design of bio-integrated electronics based devices for biomedical applications. Following this research line, we theoretically investigate by first principle calculations, accounting for van der Waals effects, the interactions between phosphorene and typical amino acids...
