Abstract

Abstract:

Since the first report of layered black phosphorus (BP) in 2014, it has become a new member of two-dimensional nanomaterials and received extensive research attention. Due to the large specific surface area, adjustable band gaps, high carrier mobility, good biocompatibility and easy accessibility for functionalization, BP can serve as a promising candidate for biosensing material. In this review, a survey on the BP-based electrochemical sensors is provided, which are classified according to the type of analytes, including gas molecules, small biological molecules, other small molecules, large biological molecules and cells. Specifically, the preparation methods and properties of BP and its composites, as well as the structure, sensing mechanism and analytical performance of these BP-based electrochemical sensors are comprehensively summarized. Finally, the current challenges and future prospects of the application of BP-based nanomaterials in electrochemical sensors are discussed, which provided a perspective on the further applications of BP nanomaterials in the field of chem- and bio-sensing.
