Abstract
Photocatalysis is a perennial solution that promises to resolve deep-rooted challenges related to environmental pollution and energy deficit through harvesting the inexhaustible and renewable solar energy. To date, a cornucopia of photocatalytic materials has been investigated with the research wave presently steered by the development of novel, affordable, and effective metal-free semiconductors with fascinating physicochemical and semiconducting characteristics. Coincidentally, the recently emerged red phosphorus (RP) semiconductor finds itself fitting perfectly into this category ascribed to its earth abundant, low-cost, and metal-free nature. More notably, the renowned red allotrope of the phosphorus family is spectacularly bestowed with strengthened optical absorption features, propitious electronic band configuration, and ease of functionalization and modification as well as high stability. Comprehensively detailing RP's roles and implications in photocatalysis, this review article will first include information on different RP allotropes and their chemical structures, followed by the meticulous scrutiny of their physicochemical and semiconducting properties such as electronic band structure, optical absorption features, and charge carrier dynamics. Besides that, state-of-the-art synthesis strategies for developing various RP allotropes and RP-based photocatalytic systems will also be outlined. In addition, modification or functionalization of RP with other semiconductors for promoting effective photocatalytic applications will be discussed to assess its versatility and feasibility as a high-performing photocatalytic system. Lastly, the challenges facing RP photocatalysts and future research directions will be included to propel the feasible development of RP-based systems with considerably augmented photocatalytic efficiency. This review article aspires to facilitate the rational development of multifunctional RP-based photocatalytic systems by widening the cognizance of rational engineering as well as to fine-tune the electronic, optical, and charge carrier properties of RP.

Abstract
Large-volume-expansion-induced material pulverization severely limits the electrochemical performance of high-capacity red phosphorus (RP) in alkali-ion batteries. Honeycomb-like porous materials can effectively solve the issues due to their abundant interconnected pore structures. Nevertheless, it is difficult and greatly challenging to fabricate a honeycomb-like porous RP that has not yet been fabricated via chemical synthesis. Herein, we successfully fabricate a honeycomb-like porous micron-sized red phosphorus (HPRP) with a controlled pore structure via a large-scale green and template-less hydrothermal strategy. It is demonstrated that dissolved oxygen in the solution can accelerate the destruction of P9 cages of RP, thus forming abundant active defects with a faster reaction rate, so the fast corrosion forms the honeycomb-like porous structure. Owing to the free volume, interconnected porous structure, and strong robustness, the optimized HPRP-36 can mitigate drastic volume variation and prevent pulverization during cycling resulting in tiny particle-level outward expansion, demonstrated by in situ TEM and ex situ SEM analysis. Thus, the HPRP-36 anode delivers a large reversible capacity (2587.4 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1) and long-cycling stability with over 500 cycles (∼81.9% capacity retention at 0.5 A g-1) in lithium-ion batteries. This generally scalable, green strategy and deep insights provide a good entry point in designing honeycomb-like porous micron-sized materials for high-performance electrochemical energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
High-pressure photochemistry between 2-butyne (H3CC≡CCH3) and trace amount of H2O was investigated at room temperature using multiline UV radiation at λ ≈ 350 nm and monitored by FTIR spectroscopy. Instead of the expected polymerization of 2-butyne, the IR spectral analysis suggests the formation of cis- and trans-2-butene, as well as 2-butanone, as the primary products. The possible reaction mechanisms and production pathways of these products were examined, where the dissociation of water molecule as the other reactant is believed as the essential step of the photochemical reaction. We further found that initial loading pressure of the mixture can not only substantially influence the reaction kinetics, but also regulate the accessibilities to some reaction channels, which was evidenced by quantitative analysis of the characteristic IR bands of 2-butene and 2-butanone. The relative abundance of two products is found to be highly dependent on pressure and radiation time. This study provides attractive physical routes in the absence of solvents, catalysts, and radical initiators, to synthesis the relevant products with a great selectivity and feasibility.

Abstract
The potential of phosphorus(V) nitride, P3 N5 , as a replacement for red phosphorus, PR , in pyrotechnic obscurants has been theoretically and experimentally investigated. P3 N5 can be safely mixed with KNO3 and even KClO3 and KClO4 . The corresponding formulations are surprisingly insensitive to friction and only mildly impact-sensitive. P3 N5 /KNO3 pyrolants with ξ=20-80 wt % P3 N5 burn 200 times faster than the corresponding mixtures based on PR and generate a dense smoke. Hence obscurants based on P3 N5 /KNO3 have a figure of merit that by far exceeds that of current state-of-the-art PR -based obscurants. Furthermore, unlike PR , which slowly degrades in moist air to phosphoric acids and phosphine (PH3 ), P3 N5 is stable under these conditions and does not produce any acids or PH3 . P3 N5 is hence a safe, stable, and powerful replacement for PR for use in insensitive munitions.

Abstract
Semiconductive property of elementary substance is an interesting and attractive phenomenon. We obtain a breakthrough that fibrous phase red phosphorus, a recent discovered modification of red phosphorus by Ruck et al., can work as a semiconductor photocatalyst for visible-light-driven hydrogen (H2 ) evolution. Small sized fibrous phosphorus is obtained by 1) loading it on photoinactive SiO2 fibers or by 2) smashing it ultrasonically. They display the steady hydrogen evolution rates of 633 μmol h(-1) g(-1) and 684 μmol h(-1) g(-1) , respectively. These values are much higher than previous amorphous P (0.6 μmol h(-1) g(-1) ) and Hittorf P (1.6 μmol h(-1) g(-1) ). Moreover, they are the highest records in the family of elemental photocatalysts to date. This discovery is helpful for further understanding the semiconductive property of elementary substance. It is also favorable for the development of elemental photocatalysts.

Abstract
N-Heterocyclic phosphanes react under UV irradiation in a highly selective dehydrocoupling reaction to diphosphanes and H2. Computational studies suggest that the product formation is initiated by the formation of dimeric molecular associates whose electronic excitation yields H2 and a diphosphane. Combining the dehydrocoupling of sterically demanding phosphanes with Mg-reduction of the formed diphosphanes allows constructing a reaction cycle for the photocatalytic reductive generation of H2 from Et3NH(+).

Abstract
High-pressure behavior of nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) was investigated by Raman and IR spectroscopy at pressures up to 55 GPa and room temperature, as well as by periodic calculations up to 100 GPa. Experimentally, we find three solid-solid phase transitions at 9, 18, and 39.5 GPa. Vibrational spectroscopy indicates that in all observed phases NF3 remains in the molecular form, in contrast to the behavior of compressed ammonia. This finding is confirmed by density functional theory calculations, which also indicate that the phase transitions of compressed NF3 are governed by the interplay between lone‑pair interactions and efficient molecule packing. Although nitrogen trifluoride is molecular in the whole pressure range studied, we show that it can be photodissociated by mid-IR laser radiation. This finding paves the way for the use of NF3 as an oxidizing and fluorinating agent in high-pressure reactions.

Abstract
The combined effect of high pressure and electronic photo-excitation has been proven to be very efficient in activating extremely selective polymerisations of small unsaturated hydrocarbons in diamond anvil cells (DAC). Here we report an ambient temperature, large volume synthesis of high density polyethylene based only on high pressure (0.4-0.5 GPa) and photo-excitation (~350 nm), without any solvent, catalyst or radical initiator. The reaction conditions are accessible to the current industrial technology and the laboratory scale pilot reactor can be scaled up to much larger dimensions for practical applications. FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction, indicate that the synthesised material is of comparable quality with respect to the outstanding crystalline material obtained in the DAC. The polydispersity index is comparable to that of IV generation Ziegler-Natta catalysts. Moreover the crystalline quality of the synthesised material can be further enhanced by a thermal annealing at 373 K and ambient pressure.
