2D transition metal borides (MBenes) have garnered significant attention from researchers due to their exceptional electrical conductivity, strong mechanical rigidity, excellent dynamic and thermodynamic stability, which stimulates the enthusiasm of researchers for the study of MBenes. Over the past few years, extensive research efforts have been dedicated to the study of MBenes, resulting in a growing number of synthesis methods being developed. However, there remains a scarcity of comprehensive reviews on MBenes, particularly in relation to the synthesis techniques employed. To address this gap, this review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the latest research findings on MBenes. An exhaustive exploration of the crystal structure types of MBenes is presented, highlighting the greater structural diversity compared to MXenes. Furthermore, a comprehensive review of the recent advancements in MBenes synthesis methodologies is provided. The review also delves into the physical and chemical properties of MBenes, while elucidating their applications in the realms of energy conversion and energy storage. Lastly, this review concludes by summarizing and offering insights on MBenes from three angles: synthesis, structure-property relationships, and application prospects.
