AB  - 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 wide range of ultrafast 
      electronics and high frequency optoelectronic applications ranging from 
      telecommunications to thermal imaging covering the nearly entire electromagnetic 
      spectrum, whereas no other 2D material has this functionality. Here, recent 
      advances in the synthesis, fabrication, anisotropic physical properties, and 
      BP-based devices including field effect transistors (FETs) and photodetectors, 
      are discussed. Recent passivation approaches to address the degradation of BP, 
      which is one of the main challenges to bring this material into real world 
      applications, are also introduced. Finally, a comment is made on the recent 
      developments in other emerging applications, future outlook and challenges ahead 
      in BP research.
