Puckered structures are a special set of 2D materials that provide a unique structural basis for accessing novel mechanical and electronic properties and functions. One of these is low-dimensional black phosphorus, or phosphorene. Phosphorene is a narrow gap semiconductor, and its high surface to volume or mass ratio makes it an ideal candidate for multifunctional applications . It has drawn wide attention in biomedical applications , electronics , plasmonics , photonics , and linear polarizers . As studied across a multitude theoretical and experimental research studies, phosphorene also exhibits several unique material properties that include anisotropic carrier mobility , anisotropic thermal conductivity , thickness-dependent charge-carrier mobility , anisotropic polarization and optical properties , tunable and direct bandgap , and straininduced semiconductor-metal transition for uniaxial compression normal to the plane .
