Borophene nanomaterials: synthesis and applications in biosensors

Abstract

Borophene is an allotropic form of boron that exists in different dimensional forms from zero-dimensional (0D) to three-dimensional (3D) with excellent properties including high tensile strength, thermal and electrical conductivity, high capacitance, metallic nature, etc. Due to these outstanding properties, borophene is mainly used in a range of applications in the fields of thin-layer electronics, optoelectronics, capacitors, and biosensors. In the present scenario, borophene is attracting attention in materials science as a wonder material for the development of a variety of applications, such as sensor development, electricity storage devices, green energy development, etc. This review presents a summary of the different synthesis methods of borophene nanomaterials and describes their potential applications in biosensing. At the end, we discuss the future prospects and conclusions regarding the different synthesis methods of borophene nanomaterials for biosensing applications in materials science.
