At least 16 bulk polymorphs of linked icosahedrons exist in boron that are not found in other materials, due to the low covalent radius and sp² hybridization capacity of boron atoms. One of them is borophene, an exciting new nanomaterial with a wide range of possible energy uses. The existence of borophene, a two-dimensional (2D) material, has been proven by both theoretical and experimental studies. Borophene's high magnetic conductivity, theoretical specific capacities, and ion transport properties make it a promising candidate in energy applications (EAs). In this study, firstly, the structure, chemical, and physical properties of borophene were mentioned. Then, in terms of synthesis approaches, both top-down and bottom-up techniques such as ultrahigh vacuum (UHV), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), exfoliation by sonochemistry (ExS), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and multi-step thermal decomposition (MTD) were discussed. Finally, its use as a catalyst in high-metal-ion batteries, hydrogen storage (HS), nanoelectronics applications hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was mentioned. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
