Blue phosphorene (BlueP) has been widely researched recently as a potential material for novel photocatalytic and electronic devices. In this letter, due to its similar in-plane hexagonal lattice structure to MoS2, BlueP/MoS(2)van der Waals heterostructures were built in six configurations. The II-stacking configuration was the most stable due to the lowest binding energy obtained from the calculation results. Furthermore, by controlling the external vertical strain, the geometry structures were optimized and the electronic structures of the BlueP/MoS(2)heterostructure were modulated. We found that when the interlayer distance was 3.71 angstrom, the structure was the most optimized. In addition, as the result of charge transfer at the interlayer, a built-in electric field was formed in the BlueP/MoS(2)heterostructure, which explained the formation of the type-II band alignment structure. The optical properties results show that the BlueP/MoS(2)heterostructure has a wide optical response range and good light absorption ability, which indicated significant potential for BlueP/MoS(2)heterostructure use in the next generation of photovoltaic devices and water-splitting materials.
