“…102 Increased absorption of NO and NO 2 was reported due to C doping in h-BN nanosheets in room temperature sensors for NO and NO 2 . 103 Similarly, high-performance epoxy composites were prepared with the chloride salt of octa and BN, and these hybrids were found to have lower dielectric loss values. 104…”

Nanomaterials have already contributed to many innovative products in the consumer markets. Constant efforts are directed at attaining unique morphologies and reduction in size. Exponential growth in research is thus involved in the synthesis of the novel nanomaterials. Boron and its compounds with distinct functional and structural properties find extensive usage in a variety of fields ranging from nuclear technology to electronics, ceramics, etc. Also, due to their non-toxicity, they are considered an attractive intermediate in the healthcare and cosmetic industry. The majority of reviews on boron and its compounds are focused on morphologies and the structure of the boron compound obtained. Here, we offer a comprehensive review of the unique properties of the major boron compounds: boron carbide (B4C), boron nitride (BN), and heterostructures with metals and organic compounds. In each section, we also describe the subsequent synthesis routes and the challenges associated with them. We have also summarized the various morphologies and shapes reported to be associated with boron and its compounds. In recent years, however, primary research on boron nanoparticle (BNP) has focused on non-toxic/greener and energy-efficient synthesis routes. The usage and production of pure BNPs in the industry are very scarce and are often associated with nanoclusters of boron and other elements. The intricate structural design and low purity of the nanoproducts formed make BNP synthesis challenging. Thus, in the last section, we summarize the challenges and outlook of the current research with future prospects in the area of BNP research.

“…20 Similar to graphene, 21 BN consists of a 2D superposition of honeycomb structures, characterized by strong chemical bonds within layers and weak van der Waals forces between layers, 22 suggesting that intrinsic BN is immune to adsorption of gas molecules. Nevertheless, a number of experimental and theoretical 23–26 studies have shown that BN surface activity could be effectively promoted by doping of chemical heteroatoms. Academic research 23 shows that NO and NO 2 molecules have excellent adsorption activity on carbon-doped BN nanosheets.…”

“…Zahra et al investigated the adsorption of H 2 S on transition element (such as Ni, Cu, and Zn) atomdoped graphene based on DFT and concluded that the adsorption configuration of the H 2 S molecule near the dopant on the doped graphene surface is most stable (Zahra, 2018). Esrafili et al used DFT to analyze the sensing mechanism of C-doped h-BN nanosheets, and the results indicated that the sensing of NO and NO 2 can be selectively conducted in the presence of CO, H 2 O, CO 2 , and NH 3 gases (Esrafili and Rad, 2019). Many studies have reported the performance and mechanism of MoS 2 -based gas sensors.…”
