Molybdenum phosphide single crystal with controlled crystal facet and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing a molybdenum phosphide single crystal in a single crystal state and having a crystal facet with excellent electrochemical properties by reacting gallium, molybdenum, and phosphorus by using a liquid-metal-assisted chemical vapor deposition method with an optimized temperature. When the method for manufacturing a molybdenum phosphide single crystal of the present invention is used, there is an advantage in that a molybdenum phosphide single crystal having excellent electrochemical properties can be synthesized due to the absence of interference from grain boundaries or defects. In addition, the method for manufacturing a molybdenum phosphide single crystal has the advantage of having high production efficiency due to a fast crystal growth rate, and has the advantage of imparting desired electrochemical properties by controlling a crystal facet of the molybdenum phosphide single crystal simply by adjusting a heating temperature.
