“…[64] This photo isomerization changes the molecular polarity and spatial demand, which influences the behavior in host-guest interac tion. Noble metals (e.g., Au, [76,77] Ag, [78] and Pt [79] ) or oxide nanoparticles, [80,81] carbon nanomaterials, [82] as well as black phosphorus [83] are representatives of inorganic photothermal agents. [65] Thus, many designs for photoresponsive hydrogels based on azobenzene-CD host-guest interaction were invented, as reviewed lately.…”

materials with diverse applications in var ious fields due to their tunable chemistry structure and physical properties as well as excellent biocompatibility. [2][3][4][5] Hydrogel research has evolved from static mate rials to smart ones, whose structures and property show responsiveness to external stimuli, including temperature, pH, light, electric or magnetic fields, and the pres ence of enzymes or ion concentrations. [6][7][8][9][10][11] This unprecedented level of control over material properties has driven both med ical and industrial fields into the realm of possibility: controlled drug delivery, [12] chemical sensors, [13] soft actuators or robotics, [14][15][16] or scaffolds for dynamic 3D cell culture. [17] Photoresponsiveness is attractive due to the inherent advan tages of light as stimulus. Light is non invasive and allows remote manipulation of materials without requiring additional reagents, thus, with limited byproducts. Modulation of irradiation parameters, such as light intensity and irradiation time, permits the pre cise control of irradiation dosage, thereby, the degree of photo reactions. Spatial control can be achieved in both 2D and 3D, and temporal control is possible by simply turning the respec tive light source on or off. Wavelengthselective photo chemical reactions can be used for orthogonal photomediation of hydrogel properties. [18] Photoresponsive hydrogels, as externally tunable materials, strongly contribute to the field of soft smart materials in regard to the abovementioned applications. [19] In this review, we elaborate on the design and the emerging appli cations of photoresponsive hydrogels. A comprehensive review about utilizing light for the formation of hydrogels is given by Mi and coworkers. [20] First, we discuss responsive modes and photochemical mechanisms of photoresponsive hydrogels. Fol lowing this, we highlight their applications for dynamic cell environments, smart biointerfaces, controlled drug delivery, photodriven actuators, and lighthealing materials. The review concludes with an outlook on the challenges and potential future approaches for photo responsive hydrogels. Light as Stimulus for Hydrogels Macroscopic Hydrogel PhotoresponsesThe interaction of light with photoresponsive hydrogels can result in different responses, some of which are observable with the bare eye. Those include hydrogel formation or degradation, network contraction or expansion, and chemical modifications in the network, which then have an immediate consequence on Hydrogels are the most relevant biochemical scaffold due to their tunable properties, inherent biocompatibility, and similarity with tissue and cell environments. Over the past decade, hydrogels have developed from static materials to "smart" responsive materials adapting to various stimuli, such as pH, temperature, chemical, electrical, or light. Light stimulation is particularly interesting for many applications because of the capability of contact-free remote manipulation of biomaterial properties and inherent spatial and t...

“…PEGylated BPQDs offered an effective theranostic strategy against cancer and exhibited great potential in biomedicine. Recently, Deng et al synthesized BP nanoparticles functionalized by dextran and poly (ethyleneimine) and then modified these with both folic acid and cyanine 7. The thus functionalized BP nanoparticles could be used as a good theranostic agent due to its excellent NIR fluorescence imaging and photoacoustic imaging capacity as well as high photothermal conversion efficiency for PTT.…”

Black phosphorus (BP) has increasingly attracted scientific attention since its first applications in biomedicine due to its unique properties and excellent biocompatibility. In particular, its layer-dependent bandgap, moderate carrier mobility, large surface-area-to-volume ratio, biodegradability, intrinsic photoacoustic properties, and biocompatibility make it an ideal candidate for use in photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, drug delivery, 3D printing, bioimaging, biosensing, and theranostics, which are reviewed here. In addition, the article discusses strategies to overcome challenges related to surface instability due to chemical degradation, a major obstacle for its application. This review not only provides a comprehensive summary on BP preparation and biomedical applications but also summarizes recent research and future possibilities.

Black phosphorus nanostructures (nano-BPs) include BP nanosheets, BP quantum dots, and BP nanoparticles. Since first being discovered in 2014, nano-BP has become one of the most popular nanomaterials. Nano-BP has many unique properties, such as excellent surface activity, tunable bandgap, high carrier mobility, moderate on/off ratio, excellent biocompatibility, good biodegradation, etc., all of which make nano-BP particularly attractive in biomedicine and biosensing. This review article comprehensively summarizes recent advances in synthesis, functionalization, biomedicine, and biosensing applications of nano-BP. Different methods are first introduced, such as mechanical cleavage, liquid-phase ultrasonic exfoliation, electrochemical exfoliation, solvothermal treatment, and acoustic-microfluidic stripping, for making the nano-BP. Then two strategies are emphasized to enhance ambient stability of nano-BP, namely physical encapsulation and chemical modification. Next, how to develop nano-BP as advanced imaging agents, nanocarriers, and nanomedicine for bioimaging (fluorescence imaging, thermal imaging, and photoacoustic imaging) and disease treatment (phototherapy and photo/chemical/immune synergistic therapy) is demonstrated. The biosensing applications on nano-BP is introduced, including electrochemical biosensor, fluorescence biosensor, chemiluminescence biosensor, electrogenerated chemiluminescence biosensor, and colorimetric biosensor. Finally, the current challenges and future perspectives on nano-BP in bioapplications are discussed. Nano-BP SynthesisLayered nanomaterials are usually exfoliated from bulk crystals. [35] Compared with bulk materials, monolayer or fewlayer nanomaterials possess the enhanced surface area, excellent physiochemical activity and optoelectronic property. The exfoliation from bulk crystal to monolayer or few-layer nanosheets has been widely applied for preparing almost all the 2D nanomaterials, graphene, MoS 2 , MXene nanosheets, etc. [36] Bulk BP, similar to graphite, is the stacking of layered BP nanosheets via the weak van der Waals force. The destruction of the external driving forces to the weak van der Waals interaction between the stack layers greatly contributes to the exfoliation of nano-BP from the bulk counterparts. Mechanical exfoliation and liquid phase ultrasonic exfoliation are the two most popular approaches, and some other methods were also involved, electrochemical exfoliation and solvothermal treatment, for instance. Table 1 summarizes the advantages and limitations of different exfoliation methods. Mechanical ExfoliationMechanical exfoliation, also called scotch-tape delamination, mainly utilizes the larger binding energy between the substrate and layered materials than van der Waals forces in Figure 2. a) Schematic illustration of meta-assisted mechanical exfoliation for FLBP. b) The left is FLBPs exfoliated using the normal scotch-tape microcleavage, and the right is FLBP exfoliated using Au-assisted method, and c) the total area of FLBP on 10 different samples. ...
