Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) often leads to cell death, vascular disruption, axonal signal interruption, and permanent functional damage. Currently, there are no clearly effective therapeutic options available for SCI. Considering the inhospitable SCI milieu typified by ischemia, hypoxia, and restricted neural regeneration, a novel injectable hydrogel system containing conductive black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets within a lipoic acid-modified chitosan hydrogel matrix (LAMC) is explored. The incorporation of tannic acid (TA)-modified BP nanosheets (BP@TA) into the LAMC hydrogel matrix significantly improved its conductivity. Further, by embedding a bicyclodextrin-conjugated tazarotene drug, the hydrogel showcased amplified angiogenic potential in vitro. In a rat model of complete SCI, implantation of LAMC/BP@TA hydrogel markedly improved the recovery of motor function. Immunofluorescence evaluations confirmed that the composite hydrogel facilitated endogenous angiogenesis and neurogenesis at the injury site. Collectively, this work elucidates an innovative drug-incorporated hydrogel system enriched with BP, underscoring its potential to foster vascular and neural regeneration.

Abstract
Photocatalysis is considered as an eco-friendly and sustainable strategy, since it uses abundant light for the advancement of the reaction, which is freely accessible and is devoid of environmental pollution. During the last decades, (nano)photocatalysts have gained broad industrial applications in terms of purification and detoxification of water as well as production of green fuels and hydrogen gas due to their special attributes. The degradation or remediation of toxic and hazardous compounds from the environment or changing them into non-toxic entities is a significant endeavor and necessary for the safety of humans, animals, and the environment. Black phosphorus (BP), a two-dimensional single-element material, has a marvelous structure, tunable bandgap, changeable morphology from bulk to nanosheet/quantum dot, and unique physicochemical properties, which makes it attractive material for photocatalytic applications, especially for sustainable development purposes. Since it can serve as a photocatalyst with or without coupling with other semiconductors, various aspects for multidimensional exploitation of BP are deliberated including their preparation via solvothermal, ball milling, calcination, and sonication methods to obtain BP from red phosphorus. The techniques for improving the photocatalytic and stability of BP-based composites are discussed along with their multifaceted applications for environmental remediation, pollution degradation, water splitting, N2 fixation, CO2 reduction, bacterial disinfection, H2 generation, and photodynamic therapy. Herein, most recent advancements pertaining to the photocatalytic applications of BP-based photocatalyst are cogitated, with a focus on their synthesis and properties as well as crucial challenges and future perspectives.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic highlighted the need for rapid and accurate viral detection at the point-of-care testing (POCT). Compared with nucleic acid detection, lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is a rapid and flexible method for POCT detection. However, the sensitivity of LFIA limits its use for early identification of patients with COVID-19. Here, an innovative surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-LFIA platform based on two-dimensional black phosphorus decorated with Ag nanoparticles as important antigen-capturing and Raman-signal-amplification unit was developed for detection of SARS-CoV-2 variants within 5-20 min. The novel SERS-LFIA platform realized a limit of detection of 0.5 pg/mL and 100 copies/mL for N protein and SARS-CoV-2, demonstrating 1000 times more sensitivity than the commercial LFIA strips. It could reliably detect seven different SARS-CoV-2 variants with cycle threshold (Ct) < 38, with sensitivity and specificity of 97 and 100%, respectively, exhibiting the same sensitivity with q-PCR. Furthermore, the detection results for 48 SARS-CoV-2-positive nasopharyngeal swabs (Ct = 19.8-38.95) and 96 negative nasopharyngeal swabs proved the reliability of the strips in clinical application. The method also had good specificity in double-blind experiments involving several other coronaviruses, respiratory viruses, and respiratory medications. The results showed that the innovative SERS-LFIA platform is expected to be the next-generation antigen detection technology. The inexpensive amplification-free assay combines the advantages of rapid low-cost POCT and highly sensitive nucleic acid detection, and it is suitable for rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 variants and other pathogens. Thus, it could replace existing antigens and nucleic acids to some extent.

Abstract
The polymorphism of phosphorus-based materials has garnered much research interest, and the variable chemical bonding structures give rise to a variety of micro and nanostructures. Among the different types of materials containing phosphorus, elemental phosphorus materials (EPMs) constitute the foundation for the synthesis of related compounds. EPMs are experiencing a renaissance in the post-graphene era, thanks to recent advancements in the scaling-down of black phosphorus, amorphous red phosphorus, violet phosphorus, and fibrous phosphorus and consequently, diverse classes of low-dimensional sheets, ribbons, and dots of EPMs with intriguing properties have been produced. The nanostructured EPMs featuring tunable bandgaps, moderate carrier mobility, and excellent optical absorption have shown great potential in energy conversion, energy storage, and environmental remediation. It is thus important to have a good understanding of the differences and interrelationships among diverse EPMs, their intrinsic physical and chemical properties, the synthesis of specific structures, and the selection of suitable nanostructures of EPMs for particular applications. In this comprehensive review, we aim to provide an in-depth analysis and discussion of the fundamental physicochemical properties, synthesis, and applications of EPMs in the areas of energy conversion, energy storage, and environmental remediation. Our evaluations are based on recent literature on well-established phosphorus allotropes and theoretical predictions of new EPMs. The objective of this review is to enhance our comprehension of the characteristics of EPMs, keep abreast of recent advances, and provide guidance for future research of EPMs in the fields of chemistry and materials science.

Abstract
Environmental pollution and energy storage are among the most pivotal challenges of today's world. The development of multifunctional materials is required to address these challenges. Our study presents the rational design and synthesis of a hybrid material (ZIF-8@BiPO4) with dual functionality: an outstanding supercapacitor electrode and an excellent photocatalyst. The ZIF-8@BiPO4 hybrid structure was obtained by conjoining zinc ions and 2-methylimidazole ligands toward BiPO4 by a one-pot stirring route at room temperature. The ZIF-8@BiPO4 resulted in considerably higher specific capacitance (Cs) (489 F g-1 at a scan rate of 5 mV s-1; 497 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1) than that of pure BiPO4 (358; 443 F g-1) and ZIF-8 (185; 178 F g-1) under the same conditions in a three-electrode cell using the 2 M KOH aqueous electrolyte. Afterward, an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device was fabricated with BiPO4 as the anode and ZIF-8@BiPO4 as the cathodes, acquiring an outstanding Cs of 255 F g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1 with significant cycling stability (81% over 10,000 cycles). Moreover, the ASC has an energy density of 17.5 Wh kg-1and a power density of 13,695 W kg-1, which can be considered to be at the borderline between batteries and supercapacitors. The photocatalytic activity of ZIF-8@BiPO4 was further studied using a methylene blue (MB) dye and sildenafil citrate (SC) drug-active molecules. The degradation of MB was approximately 78% through the photocatalytic reduction after 180 min of UV irradiation. The outstanding characteristics together with the ecofriendly and low-cost preparation make ZIF-8@BiPO4 appealing for a broad range of applications.

Abstract
As a new type of single element direct-bandgap semiconductor, black phosphorus (BP) shows many excellent characteristics due to its unique two-dimensional (2D) structure, which has great potential in the fields of optoelectronics, biology, sensing, information, and so on. In recent years, a series of physical and chemical methods have been developed to modify the surface of 2D BP to inhibit its contact with water and oxygen and improve the stability and physical properties of 2D BP. By doping and coating other materials, the stability of BP applied in the anode of a lithium-ion battery was improved.

Abstract
MXenes, are a rapidly growing family of two-dimensional materials exhibiting outstanding electronic, optical, mechanical, and thermal properties with versatile transition metal and surface chemistries. A wide range of transition metals and surface termination groups facilitate the properties of MXenes to be easily tuneable. Due to the physically strong and environmentally stable nature of MXenes, they have already had a strong presence in different fields, for instance energy storage, electrocatalysis, water purification, and chemical sensing. Some of the newly discovered applications of MXenes showed very promising results, however, they have not been covered in any review article. Therefore, in this review we comprehensively review the recent advancements of MXenes in various potential fields including energy conversion and storage, wearable flexible electronic devices, chemical detection, and biomedical engineering. We have also presented some of the most exciting prospects by combining MXenes with other materials and forming mixed dimensional high performance heterostructures based novel electronic devices.

Abstract
Electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) always plays an important role in many electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems. Owing to the slow kinetics mainly brought from multiple proton-coupled electron transfer steps, the design and exploit low-cost, highly active, durable OER electrocatalysts are of significant importance. Although the black phosphorus (BP) shows good electrocatalytic OER performance, it still faces the problems of poor intrinsic activity and low stability due to its instability under ambient conditions. The NiFe-LDH was assembled onto the surfaces of exfoliated BP (EBP) nanoflakes to realize the interfacial coupling between them, achieving an effective improvement in electrocatalytic activity and stability. Benefitting from the interfacial P-O bonding, the NiFe-LDH@EBP hybrid shows high OER activity with a low overpotential of ∼240 mV@10 mA cm−2 toward OER under alkaline conditions, as well as the good stability. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations proved that the interface-coupling of NiFe-LDH on BP promotes charge transfer kinetics and balances the adsorption/desorption of reaction intermediates, ultimately imparting excellent OER electrocatalytic activity.

Abstract
Nanomaterials' unique structures at the nanometer level determine their incredible functions, and based on this, they can be widely used in the field of nanomedicine. However, nanomaterials do possess disadvantages that cannot be ignored, such as burst release, rapid elimination, and poor bioadhesion. Hydrogels are scaffolds with three‐dimensional structures, and they exhibit good biocompatibility and drug release capacity. Hydrogels are also associated with disadvantages for biomedical applications such as poor anti‐tumor capability, weak bioimaging capability, limited responsiveness, and so on. Incorporating nanomaterials into the 3D hydrogel network through physical or chemical covalent action may be an effective method to avoid their disadvantages. In nanocomposite hydrogel systems, multifunctional nanomaterials often work as the function core, giving the hydrogels a variety of properties (such as photo‐thermal conversion, magnetothermal conversion, conductivity, targeting tumor, etc.). While, hydrogels can effectively improve the retention effect of nanomaterials and make the nanoparticles have good plasticity to adapt to various biomedical applications (such as various biosensors). Nanocomposite hydrogel systems have broad application prospects in biomedicine. In this review, we comprehensively summarize and discuss the most recent advances of nanomaterials composite hydrogels in biomedicine, including drug and cell delivery, cancer treatment, tissue regeneration, biosensing, and bioimaging, and we also briefly discussed the current situation of their commoditization in biomedicine.

Abstract
This study aims to design a new nanocomposite as a supporting material for wiring the enzyme to develop a bioanode in the enzymatic biofuel cell (EBFC). In this work, polyaniline-based nanocomposite was synthesized by in situ polymerization of aniline monomer. The zeta potential study of the nanofillers was carried out, which reveals the interaction between the nanofillers. The synthesized nanocomposite (MWCNT/ZnS/AgNWs/PANI) was characterized by analytical techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD). Furthermore, the surface morphology and the in-depth information of the synthesized nanocomposite were displayed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. In addition, the as-synthesized nanocomposite and the designed bioanode underwent the electrochemical assessment using different electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) for evaluating the electrochemical behavior of the fabricated anodes. The electrochemically regulated bioanode (MWCNT/ZnS/AgNWs/PANI/Frt/GOx) obtained an open-circuit voltage of 0.55 V and produced a maximal current density of 7.6 mA cm−2 at a glucose concentration of 50 mM prepared in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) (pH 7.0) as a supporting electrolyte at a scan rate of 100 mV s−1.

Abstract
The inherent bandwidth limitations make it quite challenging to achieve the wideband response of metamaterial absorbers. In this paper, a metamaterial absorber based on triangular metallic rings has been proposed to attain wideband absorption (>90%) in the wavelength span of 400-750 nm. The absorber is constituted of periodically placed unit cells, where each unit cell contains three concentric triangular chromium metal rings. The absorption of the design remains stable (above 70%) over a wide range of incidence obliquity (0°-60°) under transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarization. Further, the absorber shows polarization-insensitive behavior over different polarization states. The low-cost and thermally endurable chromium metal, wide absorption, and wide-angle stability make the proposed absorber a suitable candidate for applications like solar energy harvesting, solar detectors, solar thermal photovoltaics, and photonic devices.

Abstract
Photocatalysis is a perennial solution that promises to resolve deep-rooted challenges related to environmental pollution and energy deficit through harvesting the inexhaustible and renewable solar energy. To date, a cornucopia of photocatalytic materials has been investigated with the research wave presently steered by the development of novel, affordable, and effective metal-free semiconductors with fascinating physicochemical and semiconducting characteristics. Coincidentally, the recently emerged red phosphorus (RP) semiconductor finds itself fitting perfectly into this category ascribed to its earth abundant, low-cost, and metal-free nature. More notably, the renowned red allotrope of the phosphorus family is spectacularly bestowed with strengthened optical absorption features, propitious electronic band configuration, and ease of functionalization and modification as well as high stability. Comprehensively detailing RP's roles and implications in photocatalysis, this review article will first include information on different RP allotropes and their chemical structures, followed by the meticulous scrutiny of their physicochemical and semiconducting properties such as electronic band structure, optical absorption features, and charge carrier dynamics. Besides that, state-of-the-art synthesis strategies for developing various RP allotropes and RP-based photocatalytic systems will also be outlined. In addition, modification or functionalization of RP with other semiconductors for promoting effective photocatalytic applications will be discussed to assess its versatility and feasibility as a high-performing photocatalytic system. Lastly, the challenges facing RP photocatalysts and future research directions will be included to propel the feasible development of RP-based systems with considerably augmented photocatalytic efficiency. This review article aspires to facilitate the rational development of multifunctional RP-based photocatalytic systems by widening the cognizance of rational engineering as well as to fine-tune the electronic, optical, and charge carrier properties of RP.

Abstract
Elemental two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as promising candidates for energy and catalysis applications due to their unique physical, chemical, and electronic properties. These materials are advantageous in offering massive surface-to-volume ratios, favorable transport properties, intriguing physicochemical properties, and confinement effects resulting from the 2D ultrathin structure.

Abstract
There is a significant amount of waste generated which creates a huge environmental issue for humanity/earth and a tremendous number of varieties of resources of a different kind are needed globally. In this context, nanoscience technology has shown its potential ability to solve the above issues and provides realistic applications and devices. The beauty of nanotechnology is its multidisciplinary approach, in which green nanotechnology has been translated to focus on waste materials. Waste materials are generally generated from biogenic (rice husk, dead leaves, waste food, etc.) and non-biogenic (several types of plastics waste, lard oil, etc.) materials produced from municipal or industrial waste. Currently, a large number of efforts have been made to utilize the waste materials for the synthesis of 2D materials in a greener way. This green synthetic approach has two advantages 1) it reduces the cost of synthesis and 2) includes minimal use of hazardous chemicals. Biogenic wastes (contains biomolecules) contain several significant constituents such as co-enzymes, enzymes, proteins, terpenoids, etc. These constituents or biomolecules are known to play an energetic role in the formation of a different variety of 2D materials and hence control the protocols of green synthesis of 2D materials. This review focuses on the exploration of the current understanding of 2D-layered material synthesis methods using waste material produce from biogenic and non-biogenic waste. It also investigates the applications of various 2D-layered materials in perspective with synthesis from waste and future challenges along with their limitations to industrial-scale synthesis.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is still a serious threat to human life and health, but there are few therapeutic options available to treat stroke because of limited blood-brain penetration. The development of nanotechnology may overcome some of the problems related to traditional drug development. In this review, we focus on the potential applications of nanotechnology in stroke. First, we will discuss the main molecular pathological mechanisms of ischemic stroke to develop a targeted strategy. Second, considering the important role of the blood-brain barrier in stroke treatment, we also delve mechanisms by which the blood-brain barrier protects the brain, and the reasons why the therapeutics must pass through the blood-brain barrier to achieve efficacy. Lastly, we provide a comprehensive review related to the application of nanomaterials to treat stroke, including liposomes, polymers, metal nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, graphene, black phosphorus, hydrogels and dendrimers. To conclude, we will summarize the challenges and future prospects of nanomedicine-based stroke treatments.

Abstract
We show a top-down synthesis approach to mass-produce phosphorene-graphene nanosheet composites with superior cycle stability and rate capability. Currently, using exfoliation to achieve two-dimensional (2D) materials is primarily limited to pure crystals. We discover that high-quality nanoscale 2D composite phosphorene-graphene sheets can be directly exfoliated from extremely low-cost bulk three-dimensional (3D) black phosphorus-graphite composites synthesized by mechanical milling while maintaining the chemical bonding and intimate electronic contact between 2D composite layers. The hybrid phosphorene-graphene material delivers high reversible capacities of 2030, 2003, and 1597 mAh/g at high current densities of 2, 4, and 6 A/g, respectively. Quantifying the dimensional electrochemical performance, we show that 2D phosphorene-graphene nanosheets not only have excellent electrochemical kinetics for fast lithium-ion diffusion and storage but also maintain the overall structural robustness of the entire electrode for long-term cyclability. This scalable synthesis paves the way for the practical application of phosphorene-graphene materials in batteries.

Abstract
Wonderful black phosphorus (BP) and some BP analogs (BPAs) have been increasingly studied for their biomedical applications owing to their fascinating properties and biodegradability, but opportunities and challenges have always coexisted in their study. Poor stability upon exposure to the natural environment is the major obstacle hampering their in vivo applications. BP/polymer and BPAs/polymer nanocomposites can not only efficiently prevent their oxidation and aggregation but also exhibit "biological activity" due to synergistic effects. In this review, we briefly describe the synthesis methods and stability strategies of BP/polymer and BPAs/polymer. Then, advances pertaining to their exciting therapeutic applications in various fields are systematically introduced, such as cancer therapy (phototherapy, drug delivery, and synergistic immunotherapy), bone regeneration, and neurogenesis. Some challenges for future clinical trials and possible directions for further study are finally discussed.

Abstract
Black phosphorus (BP) has recently garnered significant attention due to its specific physical properties. At present, high-quality few-layer and thin-film BP is obtained principally by mechanical exfoliation, restricting its device applications in the future. Here, a facile, direct synthesis of highly crystalline thin-film BP on GaN(001) substrates is achieved by conversion of red phosphorus to BP under atmospheric pressure. The synthesized ≈100-500 nm thick BP thin films with a length ranging from 4 to 15 μm can maintain long-term stability with no sign of oxidation after 5 months of exposure to ambient conditions, as indicated by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Cross-sectional spherical aberration correction transmission electron microscopy (STEM) analysis of the entire thin-film BP sample did not show any aggregation nucleation through the selected sample. The interface of the BP/GaN heterostructure is atomically sharp, which is very critical for high-performance device fabrication using a direct step in the future. And it is worth noting that there are fluctuations of a few atoms on the surface of GaN. Moreover, using first-principles approaches, here we establish a novel kinetic pathway for fabricating thin-film BP via epitaxial growth. The step of fluctuations with a few atoms on the GaN surface are first preferentially covered by P adatoms, then P adatoms cover the remaining part. Once formed, such a structure of thin-film BP is stable, as tested using EDS and STEM. Combining the results of the experiment and simulation, it can be revealed that the P adatom on undulatory GaN is sufficiently mobile and the undulating surface of GaN plays a major role in forming high-quality thin-films of BP. The preferentially covered nearby step growth mechanism discovered here may enable the mass production of high-quality thin-film BP, and could also be instrumental in achieving the epitaxial growth of thin-film BP on GaN and other 2D materials.

Abstract
First-principles calculations show that the geometric and electronic properties of silicene-related systems have diversified phenomena. Critical factors of group-IV monoelements, like buckled/planar structures, stacking configurations, layer numbers, and van der Waals interactions of bilayer composites, are considered simultaneously. The theoretical framework developed provides a concise physical and chemical picture. Delicate evaluations and analyses have been made on the optimal lattices, energy bands, and orbital-projected van Hove singularities. They provide decisive mechanisms, such as buckled/planar honeycomb lattices, multi-/single-orbital hybridizations, and significant/negligible spin-orbital couplings. We investigate the stacking-configuration-induced dramatic transformations of essential properties by relative shift in bilayer graphenes and silicenes. The lattice constant, interlayer distance, buckling height, and total energy essentially depend on the magnitude and direction of the relative shift: AA → AB → AA' → AA. Apparently, sliding bilayer systems are quite different between silicene and graphene in terms of geometric structures, electronic properties, orbital hybridizations, interlayer hopping integrals, and spin interactions.

Abstract
Black phosphorus (BP), an emerging 2D material semiconductor material, exhibits unique properties and promising application prospects for photo/electrocatalysis. However, the applications of BP in photo/electrocatalysis are hampered by the instability as well as low catalysis efficiency. Recently, tremendous efforts have been dedicated toward modulating its intrinsic structure, electronic property, and charge separation for enhanced photo/electrocatalytic performance through structure engineering. Simultaneously, the search for new substitute materials that are BP-analogous is ongoing. Herein, the latest theoretical and experimental progress made in the structural/surface engineering strategies and advanced applications of BP and BP-analog materials in relation to photo/electrocatalysis are extensively explored, and a presentation of the future opportunities and challenges of the materials is included at the end.

Abstract
Antimony nanocrystals (Sb NCs) are of interest in energy storage, catalysis and cancer therapy for its special physical, chemical and biomedical properties. However, methodology challenges still remain in preparation of colloidal Sb NCs, due to the restricted reaction solution systems, high temperature and time costing for common routes. Herein, size controllable colloidal Sb NCs were continuously prepared by pulsed laser ablation of Sb target in different solvents, owning to the metal nanodroplet explosive ejection and thermal evaporation mechanisms. These well dispersed and stable Sb NCs showed excellent photothermal property in the near-infrared-II window.

Abstract
Two-dimensional black phosphorus (2D BP), well known as phosphorene, has triggered tremendous attention since the first discovery in 2014. The unique puckered monolayer structure endows 2D BP intriguing properties, which facilitate its potential applications in various fields, such as catalyst, energy storage, sensor, etc. Owing to the large surface area, good electric conductivity, and high theoretical specific capacity, 2D BP has been widely studied as electrode materials and significantly enhanced the performance of energy storage devices. With the rapid development of energy storage devices based on 2D BP, a timely review on this topic is in demand to further extend the application of 2D BP in energy storage. In this review, recent advances in experimental and theoretical development of 2D BP are presented along with its structures, properties, and synthetic methods. Particularly, their emerging applications in electrochemical energy storage, including Li-/K-/Mg-/Na-ion, Li-S batteries, and supercapacitors, are systematically summarized with milestones as well as the challenges. Benefited from the fast-growing dynamic investigation of 2D BP, some possible improvements and constructive perspectives are provided to guide the design of 2D BP-based energy storage devices with high performance.

Abstract
Achieving the broadband response of metamaterial absorbers has been quite challenging due to the inherent bandwidth limitations. Herein, the investigation was made of a unique kind of visible light metamaterial absorber comprising elliptical rings-shaped fractal metasurface using tungsten metal. It was found that the proposed absorber exhibits average absorption of over 90% in the visible wavelength span of 400-750 nm. The features of perfect absorption could be observed because of the localized surface plasmon resonance that causes impedance matching. Moreover, in the context of optoelectronic applications, the absorber yields absorbance up to ~ 70% even with the incidence obliquity in the range of 0°-60° for transverse electric polarization. The theory of multiple reflections was employed to further verify the performance of the absorber. The obtained theoretical results were found to be in close agreement with the simulation results. In order to optimize the results, the performance was analyzed in terms of the figure of merit and operating bandwidth. Significant amount of absorption in the entire visible span, wide-angle stability, and utilization of low-cost metal make the proposed absorber suitable in varieties of photonics applications, in particular photovoltaics, thermal emitters and sensors.

Abstract
In the search of suitable anode candidates with high specific capacity, favorable potential, and structural stability for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), transition-metal phosphorus trisulfides (TMPS3 ) can be considered as one of the most promising alternatives to commercial graphite. Here, it was demonstrated that the limitations of commercial anode materials (i.e., low specific capacity, large volume change, and high lithium diffusion barrier as well as nucleation) can be circumvented by using TMPS3 monolayer surfaces. The study revealed that lithium binds strongly to TMPS3 monolayers (-2.31 eV) without any distortion of the surface, with Li@TMPS3 exhibiting enhanced stability compared with other 2D analogues (graphene, phosphorene, MXenes, transition-metal sulfides and phosphides). The binding energy of lithium was overwhelmingly enhanced with vacancy defects. The vacancy-mediated TMPS3 surfaces showed further amplification of Li binding energy from -2.03 to -2.32 eV and theoretical specific capacity of 441.65 to 484.34 mAh g-1 for MnPS3 surface. Most importantly, minimal change in volume (less than 2 %) after lithiation makes TMPS3 monolayers a very effective candidate for LIBs. Additionally, the ultralow lithium diffusion barrier (0.08 eV) compared with other existing commercial anode material proves the superiority of TMPS3 .

Abstract
Belonging to the chalcogen group, the elements selenium (Se) and tellurium (Te) are located in Group VI-A of the periodic table. Zero-valent nanodimensioned Se (nano-Se) and Te (nano-Te) have displayed important biomedical applications in recent years. The past two decades have witnessed an explosion in novel cancer treatment strategies using nano-Se and nano-Te as aggressive weapons against tumors. Indeed, they are both inorganic nanomedicines that suppress tumor cell proliferation, diffusion, and metastasis. Abundant synthesis strategies for rational and precise surface decoration of nano-Se and nano-Te make them significant players in resisting cancers by means of powerful multi-modal treatment methods. This review focuses on the design and engineering of nano-Se- and nano-Te-based nanodelivery systems and their precise uses in cancer treatment. The corresponding anticancer molecular mechanisms of nano-Se and nano-Te are discussed in detail. Given their different photo-induced behaviors, the presence or absence of near infrared illumination is used as a defining characteristic when describing the anticancer applications of nano-Se and nano-Te. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of nano-Se and nano-Te are summarized and highlighted.
