Phosphorene has attracted great interest due to its unique electronic and optoelectronic properties owing to its tunable direct and moderate band-gap in association with high carrier mobility. However, its intrinsic instability in air seriously hinders its practical applications, and problems of technical complexity and in-process degradation exist in currently proposed stabilization strategies. A facile pathway in obtaining and stabilizing phosphorene through a one-step, ionic liquid-assisted electrochemical exfoliation and synchronous fluorination process is reported in this study. This strategy enables fluorinated phosphorene (FP) to be discovered and large-scale, highly selective few-layer FP (3-6 atomic layers) to be obtained. The synthesized FP is found to exhibit unique morphological and optical characteristics. Possible atomistic fluorination configurations of FP are revealed by core-level binding energy shift calculations in combination with spectroscopic measurements, and the results indicate that electrolyte concentration significantly modulates the fluorination configurations. Furthermore, FP is found to exhibit enhanced air stability thanks to the antioxidation and antihydration effects of the introduced fluorine adatoms, and demonstrate excellent photothermal stability during a week of air exposure. These findings pave the way toward real applications of phosphorene-based nanophotonics.

Two-dimensional (2D) inorganic nanomaterials for biomedical applications still face the challenge of simultaneously offering a high photothermal conversion efficiency (PTCE), efficient drug delivery, biocompatibility and biodegradability. Herein, cancer treatment using tin sulfide nanosheet (SnS NS)-based dual therapy nano-platforms (SDTNPs), including photothermal- and chemo-therapy, is demonstrated. SnS, a black phosphorus (BP) analogue binary IV-VI compound, was synthesized using liquid phase exfoliation. SnS NSs comprising 2-4 layers exhibited good biocompatibility and a high PTCE of 39.3%, which is higher than other popular 2D materials. The SnS NSs showed a stable photothermal performance over 2 h of laser irradiation and exhibited ∼14% degradation after 10 h of irradiation. It was also found that SnS NSs show high loading of small molecules such as doxorubicin (DOX) (up to ∼200% in weight). Consequently, the SDTNPs achieved notable tumor therapy through the combination of photothermal- and chemo-therapy both in vitro and in vivo. Our study may pave the way for the biomedical application of SnS and other IV-VI compound-based 2D nanomaterials. Compared with traditional therapies, SnS NS-based laser therapy is green and efficient, due to its biocompatibility, photo-degradability, high efficiency photothermal properties and high drug loading.

It is widely known that excellent intrinsic electronic and optoelectronic advantages of black phosphorus (BP) make it attractive for applications in transistor, logic and optoelectronic devices. However, easy degradation upon exposure to ambient conditions turns out to be the most critical bottleneck in restricting its practical applications. In order to simultaneously achieve good stability and high device performance, a two-dimensional (2D) size-selected black-phosphorus-analogue (BPA), tin monosulfide nanosheets (SnS Ns), with enhanced chemical stability was successfully fabricated by a facile liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) method, followed by a liquid cascade centrifugation (LCC) technique. Similar to BP, SnS shows thickness modulated bandgap energy. The as-prepared SnS Ns were employed to fabricate working electrodes for photoelectrochemical (PEC)-type broadband photodetection for the first time, and they exhibit an appropriate capacity for a self-powered broadband photoresponse. More importantly, due to the weak polar character of Sn–S bonds, the SnS-based photodetector shows strong long-term temporal and cycling stability of ON/OFF switching behaviour without any external protection not only in regular basic electrolytes but also under strong polar conditions including harsh acidic and neutral electrolytes. We therefore anticipate that SnS as an emerging optoelectronic material might be developed towards versatile applications such as photodetection, sensing and modulation, etc.
