Abstract

Two dimensional (2D) materials have attracted extravagant eminence in the area of biomedical applications due to their distinctive structure, biocompatibility, and physicochemical properties. Mono-layered black phosphorus (BP), also known as phosphorene, is a thermodynamically stable allotrope of phosphorous and is the very recent member of the 2D family has lured tremendous scientific interest since its rediscovery in 2014. The exceptional properties of BP including high carrier mobility, large specific surface area, tunable band gap, intrinsic anisotropy, and inherent in vivo biocompatibility and biodegradability make it an ideal alternative to other 2D materials in biomedical applications. This chapter summarizes various biomedical applications of BP including drug delivery, bio-imaging, bio-sensing, photothermal/photodynamic therapy, and theranostics. The main focus of this chapter is to emphasize the efficacy of BP nanosheets (NSs) and quantum dots (QDs) as robust and tunable diagnostic and therapeutic platforms. Finally, the current challenges and future perspectives in biomedical applications of BP have also been addressed.
