Recently, a new class of two-dimensional black phosphorus (BP) with a visible direct band gap is predicted as a potential candidate for photo-catalysis applications. Here, we present the first experimental evidence of hydrogen (H2) evolution from aqueous solution by using BP (nanosheets and nanopart...
