Black Phosphorus Revisited: A Missing Metal‐Free Elemental Photocatalyst for Visible Light Hydrogen Evolution
Abstract
Metal‐free elemental photocatalysts for hydrogen (H 2) evolution are more advantageous than the traditional metal‐based inorganic photocatalysts since the nonmetal elements are generally cheaper, more earth‐abundant, and environmentally friendly. Black phosphorus (BP) has been attracting increasing attention in recent years based on its anisotropic 2D layered structure with tunable bandgap in the range of 0.3–2.0 eV; however, the application of BP for photocatalytic H 2 evolution has been scarcely reported experimentally although being theoretically predicted. Herein, for the first time, the visible light photocatalytic H 2 evolution of BP nanosheets prepared via a facile solid‐state mechanochemical method by ball‐milling bulk BP is reported. Without using any noble metal cocatalyst, the visible light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of BP nanosheets reaches 512 µmol h−1 g−1, which is ≈18 times higher than that of the bulk BP, and is comparable or even higher than that of graphitic carbon nitrides (g‐C 3 N 4).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
