Recent progress on black phosphorus quantum dots for full-spectrum solar-to-chemical energy conversion

Semiconductor-based photocatalysis is one of the renewable and sustainable technologies for direct solar-to-chemical energy conversion to tackle the energy crisis and environmental pollution. Since being rediscovered in 2014, black phosphorus (BP), a two-dimensional (2D) layered material, has aroused extensive interests in the scientific community. In particular, 0D BP quantum dots (BPQDs) derived from 2D BP nanosheets have emerged as a...
