The primary goal of this review is to present a clear chemical perspective of borates in order to stimulate and facilitate the discovery of new borate-based optical materials. These materials, which exhibit structures as varied as they are complex, are needed to meet the urgent technological milestones. In the current period of rapid sociotechnological breakthroughs, the need for the rational design and discovery of novel borates with superior performance is greater than ever before. Through the sustained efforts of chemists and material scientists, more than 3900 boron-containing compounds, including borate minerals and synthetic borates, have been documented in the scientific literature. This review provides a survey of all the reported anhydrous borates and an analysis of their complex structural chemistry. State-of-the-art progress related to technological advances in borate-based nonlinear optical, birefringent, and self-frequency-doubling materials is surveyed, with special emphasis on the relationships between structural architectures and optical properties. More importantly, this review serves both as a scientific introduction for graduates and post-doctoral researchers to the chemical richness of solid-state borates and as a comprehensive reference for researchers interested in borate-based optical materials.
本综述的主要目标是从化学角度清晰地呈现硼酸盐，以推动并促进新型硼酸盐基光学材料的发现。这些材料的结构多样且复杂，是实现紧迫技术里程碑所必需的。在当前社会技术快速突破的时期，合理设计和发现具有卓越性能的新型硼酸盐的需求比以往任何时候都更为迫切。通过化学家和材料科学家的持续努力，科学文献中已记录了3900多种含硼化合物，包括硼酸盐矿物和合成硼酸盐。本综述对所有已报道的无水硼酸盐进行了概述，并分析了它们复杂的结构化学。综述了硼酸盐基非线性光学、双折射和自倍频材料技术进展的最新情况，特别强调了结构架构与光学性能之间的关系。更重要的是，本综述既为研究生和博士后研究人员提供了关于固态硼酸盐化学丰富性的科学介绍，也为对硼酸盐基光学材料感兴趣的研究人员提供了全面的参考。 。
