Black phosphorus: A novel nanoplatform with potential in the field of bio-photonic nanomedicine

Abstract

Single- or few-layer black phosphorus (FLBP) has attracted great attentions in scientific community with its excellent properties, including biodegradability, unique puckered lattice configuration, attractive electrical properties and direct and tunable band gap. In recent years, FLBP has been widely studied in bio-photonic fields such as photothermal and photodynamic therapy, drug delivery, bioimaging and biosensor, showing attractive clinical potential. Because of the marked advantages of FLBP nanomaterials in bio-photonic fields, this review article reviews the latest advances of biomaterials based on FLBP in biomedical applications, ranging from biocompatibility, medical diagnosis to treatment.

Multifunctional black phosphorus/MoS2 van der Waals heterojunction

“…Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials, such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), black phosphorus (BP), and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), offer a unique opportunity for building heterojunction devices due to the absence of dangling bonds on the surface and the weak van der Waals (vdW) interactions between individual layers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Although the lack of dangling bonds on the 2D material surface can lead to unexpected interface issues in specific structures such as TMDC/dielectric, functional devices can be achieved based on 2D material heterojunctions without the restraint of lattice mismatch and the need for a complex fabrication process [8].…”

Optimization of cellobiohydrolase production and secretome analysis of Trametes villosa LBM 033 suitable for lignocellulosic bioconversion

“…To characterize the secreted proteins under the optimized culture conditions for CBH activity, the secretome of T. villosa LBM 033 was analysed by LS MS/MS, referring to the T. versicolor genome (Floudas et al, 2012). Other novel techniques on detecting biomolecules using nanomaterials were cited by Fan, Zhou, Qiu, and Zhang (2018), Luo, Fan, Zhou, Zhang, and Mei (2019) and Xue et al (2019).…”

Solar‐Inspired Water Purification Based on Emerging 2D Materials: Status and Challenges

“…There are only a few reports on phosphorene/antimonene‐based photothermal evaporation. The efficient photothermal conversion makes them advantageous for photothermal evaporation, but their photo‐degradability should be considered for practical applications. There have been a vast number of strategies working on enhancing the stability of phosphorene, including covalent bonding via aryl diazonium, surface coordination of titanium sulfonate ligand, fluorination, alkali metal‐intercalation, metal‐ion passivation, and package by graphene shell, hexagonal BN, organic monolayers, graphene oxide (GO), AlO x , etc.…”
