We ascertain the anisotropic thermal conductivity of passivated black phosphorus (BP), a reactive 2D nanomaterial with strong in-plane anisotropy. We measure the room temperature thermal conductivity by time-domain thermoreflectance for three crystalline axes of exfoliated BP. The thermal conductivity along the zigzag direction (86 ± 8 W m-1 K-1) is ~2.5 times higher than that of the armchair direction (34 ± 4 W m-1 K-1).
