Semiconductor-based photocatalysis is a renewable and sustainable technology to solve global environmental pollution and energy shortage problems. It is essential to exploit highly efficient photocatalyst materials. Recently, Earth-abundant elemental red phosphorus (RP) with broader light-harvesting and appropriate band structure characteristics has been widely studied in photocatalysis. In this review, the crystal and electronic structures of RP (e.g., amorphous, Hittorf's and fibrous phosphorus) materials are firstly summarized along with the current advancement in the synthesis strategies of RP and RP-based materials in photocatalysis accompanied by a thorough discussion of the applications of RP-based materials in photocatalytic pollutant degradation, bacterial inactivation, and water splitting. Finally, this review also offers some guidance and perspectives for the future design of efficient visible-light-driven photocatalysts.
基于半导体的光催化是一种可再生且可持续的技术，用于解决全球环境污染和能源短缺问题。开发高效的光催化剂材料至关重要。最近，具有更宽光捕获范围和合适能带结构特征的地球上储量丰富的元素红磷（RP）在光催化领域得到了广泛研究。在这篇综述中，首先总结了RP（如无定形、赫托夫磷和纤维状磷）材料的晶体和电子结构，以及RP和基于RP的材料在光催化中的合成策略的当前进展，并深入讨论了基于RP的材料在光催化污染物降解、细菌灭活和水分解中的应用。最后，本综述还为未来高效可见光驱动光催化剂的设计提供了一些指导和展望。
