  Nickel nanoparticles were dispersed on the surface of exfoliated black
phosphorus and the resulting nanohybrid Ni/2DBP showed an improved stability
respect to pristine 2D BP when kept in ambient conditions in the darkness.
Ni/2DBP was applied as catalyst in the semihydrogenation of phenylacetylene and
exhibited high conversion and selectivity towards styrene. These features were
preserved after recycling tests revealing the high stability of the nanohybrid.
