Abstract
Concerted efforts have been made in recent years to find solutions to water and wastewater treatment challenges and eliminate the difficulties associated with treatment methods. Various techniques are used to ensure the recycling and reuse of water resources. Owing to their excellent chemical, physical, and biological properties, nanomaterials play an important role when integrated into water/wastewater treatment technologies. Black phosphorus (BP) is a potential nanomaterial candidate for water and wastewater treatment, especially its monolayer 2D derivative called phosphorene. Phosphorene offers relative adjustability in its direct bandgap, high charge carrier mobility, and improved in-plane anisotropy compared to the most extensively studied 2D nanomaterials. In this study, we examined the physical and chemical characteristics and synthetic processes of BP and phosphorene. We provide an overview of the latest advancements in the main applications of BP and phosphorene in water/wastewater treatment, which are categorized as photocatalytic, adsorption, and membrane filtration processes. Additionally, we explore the existing difficulties in the integration of BP and phosphorene into water/wastewater treatment technologies and prospects for future research in this field. In summary, this review highlights the ongoing necessity for significant research efforts on the integration of BP and phosphorene in water and wastewater applications.

Abstract
The importance of sialic acid on cell functions has been recently unveiled, and consequently, great attention has been paid to its interaction with tumor cells. In this line of research, we have realized phosphorene nanosheets functionalized with sialic acid molecules for biological applications with no need for another linker molecule. The formation of phosphorene sheets is feasible by using hydrogen plasma treatment and conversion of amorphous phosphorus on silicon substrates into highly crystalline nanosheets. Through immersion of these freshly prepared nanosheets into an aqueous solution containing sialic acid molecules, the formation of chemical binding between biomolecules and P atoms is initiated to form a carpet-like coverage. We have studied these structures by using Raman spectroscopy, electron microscopy, FTIR-ATR spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. While XPS supports the passivation of sialic-activated phosphorene nanosheets (SAP) against oxidation in air or aqueous solutions, the FTIR analysis corroborates the evolution of P-O-C and P-C bonds between such biomolecules and the sheet surface. Moreover, the high-resolution TEM images demonstrate a considerable reduction in the lattice spacing from 0.32 nm for pristine phosphorene to 0.30 nm. Similarly, Raman spectroscopy depicts a shift in A2g in-plane vibrations, owing to the evolution of stress in the passivated sheets. To investigate their biocompatibility, we examined the toxicity of these bioactivated structures and observed no or little sign of toxicity. For the latter evaluation, we exploited MTT, flow cytometry, and animal models for in vivo investigations.

Abstract
Since its rediscovery in 2014, layered black phosphorus (BP) has received extensive attention as a new two-dimensional semiconductor. BP is a promising material with properties of a large surface-to-volume ratio, wide light absorption range, tunable band gap, and high charge carrier mobility. These unique characteristics of BP make it a promising contender for various applications, particularly in the realm of environmental applications. This literature review provides a comprehensive discussion and overview of the latest developments in utilizing BP for environmental purposes. The review starts with the applications of BP in photocatalysis including photodegradation of refractory pollutants, H2 evolution reaction (HER), and reduction of CO2 and N2. In the following section, Environmental electrocatalysis of HER and N2 reduction reaction (NRR) is discussed. In addition, BP-based environmental sensing (detection of heavy metal ions, antibiotics, mycotoxins, NOx) and eco-friendly halogen-free flame retardant are summarized as well. Finally, a thorough comprehension of the current state and potential future trends of BP-based nanomaterials for various environmental applications are presented.
