lack Phosphorous has recently gained the attention in the field of 2D nanomaterials owing to its exceptional structure and properties. Specifically, its features like drug loading efficiency, biocompatibility, optical, mechanical, electrical, thermal and phototherapeutic properties contribute to its rising demand as potential alternative to the graphene-based 2D nanomaterials in biomedical applications. Though the BP´s outlook appears promising, its practical applicability is highly challenging. In this review we have discussed the different strategies for synthesis of BP and then briefed its unique properties which renders it a potential platform for the biomedical application. We then discuss the importance of heterogeneous doping on improving the stability of BP against chemical degradation and enhancing its photoelectric properties. Meanwhile, BP-based nanoconjugates, stimuli responsive nanoplatforms, therapeutic, imaging and biosensing platforms are the domains of special and com
