Sumario:Black phosphorus: a two-dimensional reductant Synthesis of various nano-sized materials generally involves chemical reduction with an extrinsic reductant. Here Prof. Xuefeng Yu, Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and co-workers have uncovered the reducing capability of black phosphorus (BP), a new 2D semiconductor material. It is demonstrated that the high reducing ability and unique 2D morphology of BP not only facilitate in situ synthesis of Au nanoparticles and BP@Au nanocomposites, but also enable multiscale control in local reduction of a graphene oxide to a reduced graphene oxide. The novel 2D reductant has large potential in various in situ nanofabrication applications and this study extends the application of 2D materials to new areas.
