Black Phosphorus: Lanthanide-Coordinated Black Phosphorus (Small 29/2018)

In article number 1801405, Xue-Feng Yu and co-workers establish a facile lanthanide-coordination strategy based on lanthanide sulfonate complexes for surface modification of various black phosphorus based nanostructures. It presents an efficient method to protect black phosphorus against oxidation, and the magnetic resonance or fluorescence derived from the lanthanide enable the functionalization of black phosphorus for extending its application range.
