“…Adamska et al find that borophene is an anisotropic metal, with a faint absorbance in the visible area, thicknessdependent optical transparency, and strong energy [45]. Tatullo et al demonstrate that in the visible range, borophene is a weak absorber, which holds high optical transparency, resulting in excellent transparency [46]. Moreover, Lherbier et al show a strong photosensitivity of borophene as regards any surface modifications [47].…”

“…Plenty of structural information on borophene also promoted researches on their electronic transport capacities. Meanwhile, if it holds a 2D structure, boron starts to display interesting metallic properties [46]. In particular, borophene could take along a high conductive The value difference between bottom and top atoms can be up to 0.89 Å. Fermi velocity plays an important role in electrical conductivity, the electron-phonon relaxation time close to EF, and DOS at EF [47].…”

Monoelemental two-dimensional (2D) materials (Xenes) aroused a tremendous attention in 2D science owing to their unique properties and extensive applications. Borophene, one emerging and typical Xene, has been regarded as a promising agent for energy, sensor, and biomedical applications. However, the production of borophene is still a challenge because bulk boron has rather intricate spatial structures and multiple chemical properties. In this review, we describe its excellent properties including the optical, electronic, metallic, semiconducting, photoacoustic, and photothermal properties. The fabrication methods of borophene are also presented including the bottom-up fabrication and the top-down fabrication. In the end, the challenges of borophene in the latest applications are presented and perspectives are discussed.

Two‐dimensional materials have led to a leap forward in materials science research, especially in the fields of energy conversion and storage. Borophene and its spherical counterpart boron fullerene represent emerging materials that have attracted much attention in the whole area of advanced energy materials and technologies. Owing to their prominent features, such as electronic environment and geometry, borophene and boron fullerene have been used in versatile applications, such as supercapacitors, superconductors, anode materials for photochemical water splitting, and biosensors. Herein, one of the most promising applications/areas of hydrogen storage is discussed. Boron fullerenes have been considered and discussed for hydrogen‐storage applications, and recently borophene was also included in the list of materials with promising hydrogen‐storage properties. Studies focus mainly on doped borophene systems over pristine borophene due to enhanced features available upon decoration with metal atoms. This Review introduces very recent progress and novel paradigms with respect to both borophene derivatives and boron fullerene based systems reported for hydrogen storage, with a focus on the synthesis, physiochemical properties, hydrogen‐storage mechanism, and practical applications.

“…In addition to that the biocompatibility of the nanomaterials became a great concern for the scientist to apply these novel nanomaterials into the biomedical applications. Interestingly, most of the low-dimensional nanomaterials (LDNs) including Graphene [ 47 ], CNTs [ 48 , 49 ], carbon fullerenes [ 50 ], Borophene [ 51 ], boron nanotube [ 52 ], boron fullerenes etc. were experimentally reported to have biocompatibility hence is safe to be used to develop biosensors and drug or vaccine delivery.…”

In this review article, we have presented a detailed analysis of the recent advancement of quantum mechanical calculations in the applications of the low-dimensional nanomaterials (LDNs) into biomedical fields like biosensors and drug delivery systems development. Biosensors play an essential role for many communities, e.g. law enforcing agencies to sense illicit drugs, medical communities to remove overdosed medications from the human and animal body etc. Besides, drug delivery systems are theoretically being proposed for many years and experimentally found to deliver the drug to the targeted sites by reducing the harmful side effects significantly. In current COVID-19 pandemic, biosensors can play significant roles, e.g. to remove experimental drugs during the human trials if they show any unwanted adverse effect etc. where the drug delivery systems can be potentially applied to reduce the side effects. But before proceeding to these noble and expensive translational research works, advanced theoretical calculations can provide the possible outcomes with considerable accuracy. Hence in this review article, we have analyzed how theoretical calculations can be used to investigate LDNs as potential biosensor devices or drug delivery systems. We have also made a very brief discussion on the properties of biosensors or drug delivery systems which should be investigated for the biomedical applications and how to calculate them theoretically. Finally, we have made a detailed analysis of a large number of recently published research works where theoretical calculations were used to propose different LDNs for bio-sensing and drug delivery applications.
