Application


  • Design of red phosphorus nanostructured electrode for fast-charging lithium-ion batteries: This study proposes red phosphorus as an ideal anode material for fast-charging lithium-ion batteries, demonstrating a red phosphorus-carbon nanocomposite with excellent fast-charging capability and high energy density. (Sun et al., 2019).

  • Elemental red phosphorus-based photocatalysts for environmental remediation: A review of low-cost and environmentally benign elemental red phosphorus as a new class of photocatalysts with tunable bandgaps for visible-light response, used in environmental remediation. (Wu et al., 2021).

  • Atomically Dispersed Au-Assisted C–C Coupling on Red Phosphorus for CO2 Photoreduction to C2H6: This study explores the use of atomically dispersed gold on red phosphorus for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to ethane, highlighting the potential of red phosphorus in photocatalytic applications. (Ou et al., 2022).

  • Rapid biofilm eradication on bone implants using red phosphorus and near‐infrared light: This research reports on the use of red phosphorus for rapid biofilm eradication on bone implants when exposed to near-infrared light, presenting a new method for medical applications. (Tan et al., 2018).
