Borophene, a crystalline allotrope of monolayer boron, with a combination of triangular lattice and hexagonal holes, has stimulated wide interest in 2-dimensional materials and their applications. Although their properties are theoretically confirmed, they are yet to be explored and confirmed experimentally. In this review article, we present advancements in research on borophene, its synthesis, and unique properties, including its advantages for various applications with theoretical predictions. The uniqueness of borophene over graphene and other 2-dimensional (2D) materials is also highlighted along with their various structural stabilities. The strategy for its theoretical simulations, leading to the experimental synthesis, could also be helpful for the exploration of many newer 2D materials.
硼烯是单层硼的一种晶体同素异形体,具有三角形晶格和六边形孔的组合,在二维材料及其应用方面引起了广泛关注。尽管其性质在理论上已得到证实,但仍有待通过实验进行探索和验证。在这篇综述文章中,我们介绍了硼烯的研究进展、合成方法及其独特性质,包括理论预测的其在各种应用中的优势。同时还强调了硼烯相对于石墨烯和其他二维材料的独特性以及它们的各种结构稳定性。其理论模拟策略促成了实验合成,这也可能有助于探索许多更新的二维材料。
