Black phosphorus (BP) is an emerging two‐dimensional (2D) material with a natural bandgap, which has unique anisotropy and extraordinary physical properties. Due to its puckered structure, BP exhibits strong in‐plane anisotropy unlike other layered materials. The bandgap tunability of BP enables a w...
