Elemental red phosphorus-based photocatalysts for environmental remediation: A review

Solution phase synthesis of the less-known Form II crystalline red phosphorus

“…Afterwards, although a mixed usage of form, type, modification, or even the absence of a prefix emerged in the subsequent literature, 5,9,61,62 Type was employed most frequently among them. 7,8,[63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74] Phosphorus nanorods brought about the ambiguity of Type. Three categories of adduct compounds of cuprous iodide and phosphorus chains (Cu 2 P 3 I 2 , 34 (CuI) 3 P 12 , 35 and (CuI) 2 P 14 36 )…”

Thermal Excitation Polarized Field Drives Photoelectric Catalysis for Dye Degradation in a BaTiO3/CdS Heterojunction through Integration of Solar and Thermal Energy

“…Environmental pollution and energy crisis are two severe challenges facing the world today. The development and utilization of solar energy is one of the effective means to solve current energy and environmental problems [1,2] . Photoelectric catalytic degradation of pollutants has realized the direct utilization of solar energy [3] .…”

Elemental phosphorus for recent sustainable processes: rules and strategies in preparation and applications

“…It is widely used in daily life and industrial production, such as flame retardants, smoke signals, electrocatalysis and chemical analysis, etc., due to its low cost, nontoxicity, easy availability and high stability. 8 In recent years, novel and interesting functions have been developed for RP-based materials, e.g., photocatalysis (benefiting from its narrow band gap (1.5-2.4 eV)) 15 and secondary batteries (benefiting from its high theoretical specific capacity of 2596 mA h g −1 ). 16,17 Above all, crystalline elemental phosphorus allotropes (BP and RP) have become pop stars in several typical sustainable processes due to their special physical and chemical properties.…”

“…123 Red phosphorus, especially crystalline red phosphorus, is a new kind of metal-free photocatalyst due to its suitable band gap (1.5-2.4 eV). 15 Typically, photocatalysis can occur in the following:…”
