Phosphorene as a rising star is a monolayer or few‐layer form of black phosphorus (BP), which is used as a 2D material, in addition to graphene. This monoelemental 2D material has gained considerable attention in the fields of electronics, optoelectronics, and biomedicine due to its extraordinary physical properties. However, as both theoretical and experimental works show, the intrinsic instability of phosphorene under ambient conditions is a major challenge in practical applications. Various theoretical and experimental researches regarding the mechanism of the degradation and passivation strategies are proposed and reported to overcome the problem of the ambient instability of phosphorene. These strategies have enabled researchers to conduct fundamental studies on phosphorene's extraordinary properties. Here, not only an extensive summary of these passivation strategies but also an overview of the fabrication methods, challenges, and suitable applications of phosphorene are provided.
