　　(Correspondent Wu Ping, Reporter Tian Yunbing). On August 19, the Hubei Xingfa Chemicals Group Co., Ltd officially announced that it would invest the establishment of Hubei Zhongke Molin Science and Technology Ltd. <http://www.youdao.com/w/Science%20and%20Technology%20Ltd./> The company and Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SIAT) will jointly found a laboratory to research and develop black phosphorus and related products.
　　The Hubei Zhongke Molin Science and Technology Ltd. <http://www.youdao.com/w/Science%20and%20Technology%20Ltd./> was co-invested by Hubei Xingfa Chemicals Group Co., Ltd, Shenzhen Zhongke Advanced Investment and Management Co., Ltd and Chongqing Zhongke Yukuang?Entrepreneurial?Incubator Co., Ltd and 50% registered capital was from the Xingfa Group. Xingfa Group is a  leading enterprise in phosphorous chemicals industry with the largest scale and capacity in China, whose research and development technology and deep processing on yellow phosphorus take the lead in the world. SIAT was established in 2006 by three parties, namely Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen Municipal Government and Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). It is a place where international talents of great creativeness gather, including 349 talents with doctorate, 294 employees with the experience of overseas education and 225 employees with both doctoral degree and overseas education experience. Research achievements of the institute are widely recognized by international counterparts, and commercialization of research findings are widely accepted and utilized by enterprises. The black phosphorus R&D team of the institute is committed to acquiring black phosphorous of high stability and its applied research. The team has applied for 9 national invention patents and PCT international patents in the field of black phosphorus research. Particularly, the acquirement of high stable black phosphorus will significantly promote the industrial application of black phosphorus in optoelectronic devices, biomedical and other fields.
　　The reporter got the information that the black phosphorus is the most stable allotrope of phosphorus, having a sheet structure similar to graphite. The black phosphorus is also known as black phosphorus-ene when it is on single atomic layer. In 2014, researchers found that the black phosphorus is the thinnest direct gap semiconductor ever found, which caused a sensation in the world. Because of the the feature that black phosphorus can directly coupled with light, black phosphorus can be used in optoelectronic devices, like photoelectric sensor, photoelectric detector and so on. Black phosphorus can also be used as photovoltaic electrode material for solar cells to improve absorption of the near-infrared of the solar spectrum. It also has broad application prospects in biological medicine and other fields.
　　According to Li Guozhang, chairman of Hubei Xingfa Chemicals Group Co., Ltd,  if the two-dimensional black phosphorus is successfully acquired and industrialized in the application area, it will be of great significance for the transformation and upgrading of the Xingfa Group and will further enhance the Group's leading and benchmark role in cutting-edge technologies of phosphorus chemical industry, thus seizing the commanding heights of high-end technology as well as products. Profound effect will be exerted on phosphate industry, Hubei Province (where phosphorus chemical enterprises gather) as well as the rest of China.
