Article Abstract
A 2D black phosphorus/platinum heterostructure (Pt/BP) is developed as a highly efficient photocatalyst for solar-driven chemical reactions. The heterostructure, synthesized by depositing BP nanosheets with ultrasmall (≈1.1 nm) Pt nanoparticles, shows strong Pt-P interactions and excellent stability. The Pt/BP heterostructure exhibits obvious P-type semiconducting characteristics and efficient absorption of solar energy extending into the infrared region. Furthermore, during light illumination, accelerated charge separation is observed from Pt/BP as manifested by the ultrafast electron migration (0.11 ps) detected by a femtosecond pump-probe microscopic optical system as well as efficient electron accumulation on Pt revealed by in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. These unique properties result in remarkable performance of Pt/BP in typical hydrogenation and oxidation reactions under simulated solar light illumination, and its efficiency is much higher than that of other common Pt catalysts and even much superior to that of conventional thermal catalysis. The 2D Pt/BP heterostructure has enormous potential in photochemical reactions involving solar light and the results of this study provide insights into the design of next-generation high-efficiency photocatalysts.

Critical source areas (CSAs) can act as a source of phosphorus (P) during intermittent rainfall events and contribute to dissolved P loss via runoff. Dissolved forms of P are readily accessible for plant and algal uptake; hence it is a concern in terms of the eutrophication of freshwater bodies. The potential of CSAs to release dissolved P to surface runoff upon intermittent short-term submergence caused by different rainfall events has not been studied at a field-scale in New Zealand previously.

Transition metal phosphide (TMP) nanoparticles (NPs) are versatile materials for energy conversion/storage applications due to their robustness and many possibilities to tailor NPs' electronic, physical, and chemical properties. One of the hurdles toward their broader implementation is their challenging synthesis exacerbated by the limited choice of phosphorus precursors. On the one hand, the synthesis of TMP NPs can employ various alkyl- or arylphosphines requiring prolonged heating at high temperatures, while on the other hand, highly reactive P(SiMe), white phosphorus, or PH pose additional obstacles associated with their hazardous nature, high cost, and limited availability.

In this article, the synthesis of bis(phosphine), -PhPCHC(O)N(H)CHCHPPh- (1) (hereafter referred to as "PNHP" and its anionic form as "PNP") and its group 10 metal chemistry and catalytic studies are described. PNHP (1) on reaction with NiCl(DME) and PdCl(COD) afforded pincer complexes, [MCl{(PNP)κ-,,}] (M = Ni, 2; Pd, 3). A similar reaction of 1 with PtCl(COD) yielded a chelate complex, [PtCl{(PNHP)κ-,}] (4), which on further treatment with LiHMDS produced the 1,2-azaphospholene-phosphine complex, [PtCl(Ph){(-P(Ph)CHCONCHCHPPh-)κ-,}] (5) P-C/P-N bond metathesis.

This paper presents the design and simulation of a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor using a Platinum diselenide (PtSe) and Blue Phosphorus/tungsten disulfide (BlueP/WS) heterostructure for biosensing protocols. The simulation is done by using a finite element method (FEM) based COMSOL Multiphysics software. The performance of the SPR biosensor is then optimized for obtaining maximum sensitivity, quality factor, detection accuracy, and low limit of detection (LOD).

Hydrogen peroxide-based Fenton reaction can effectively degrade many small-molecule fluorescent dyes, leading to notable alterations in fluorescence signals. Additionally, the two-dimensional black phosphorus/platinum nanocomposite (BP/Pt) demonstrates exceptional catalase (CAT) characteristics. Based on these, a colorimetric-fluorescence dual-mode signal output pattern based on BP/Pt-Fenton reaction-rhodamine B tandem reaction system is reported.
