[Display omitted] •Two-dimensional black phosphorus (TDBP) is promising candidate for energy storage material was elaborated.•Extreme summary of preparation methods of black phosphorus was narrated.•Various applications of black phosphorus as energy storage material was elaborated.•Present, past and future study of black phosphorus as energy storage material was discussed. Two-dimensional black phosphorus (TDBP) is desirable for electrical devices due to its adjustable direct band gap (0.3 to 2.0 eV), high mobility of carriers (∼1000 cm2 V−1 s−1), and the mild on/off ratio (105) in devices. Developing techniques for electrochemical energy storage, especially Li-ion batteries and supercapacitors, has been substantially accelerated by the invention of TDBP. As the electrode material, TDBP distinguishes out as a shining star due to its distinct high capacity. Here, considering the most current research advancements on TDBP in energy storage, BP's fundamental construction properties and the preparation techniques of TDBP are discussed. The utilization of TDBP in energy transformation and storage apparatus such as batteries and supercapacitors is demonstrated. However, some pressing issues still need to be resolved using TDBP, including synthesizing the finest phosphorene in wide-ranging volume growth and inadequate environmental stability. Environmental instability and passivation methods of TDBP are also discussed.
