Various types of zero, one, and two-dimensional boron nanomaterials such as nanoclusters, nanowires, nanotubes, nanobelts, nanoribbons, nanosheets, and monolayer crystalline sheets named borophene have been experimentally synthesized and identified in the last 20 years. Owing to their low dimensionality, boron nanomaterials have different bonding configurations from those of three-dimensional bulk boron crystals composed of icosahedra or icosahedral fragments. The resulting intriguing physical and chemical properties of boron nanomaterials are fascinating from the viewpoint of material science. Moreover, the wide variety of boron nanomaterials themselves could be the building blocks for combining with other existing nanomaterials, molecules, atoms, and/or ions to design and create materials with new functionalities and properties. Here, the progress of the boron nanomaterials is reviewed and perspectives and future directions are described.
在过去20年里，人们通过实验合成并鉴定出了各种类型的零维、一维和二维硼纳米材料，如纳米团簇、纳米线、纳米管、纳米带、纳米 ribbon、纳米片以及名为硼烯的单层晶体片。由于其低维度特性，硼纳米材料具有与由二十面体或二十面体片段组成的三维块状硼晶体不同的键合构型。从材料科学的角度来看，硼纳米材料由此产生的有趣物理和化学性质令人着迷。此外，种类繁多的硼纳米材料本身可以作为构建单元，与其他现有的纳米材料、分子、原子和/或离子结合，以设计和创造具有新功能和特性的材料。在此，对硼纳米材料的进展进行综述，并描述其前景和未来方向。
