Borophene was successfully synthesized by modifying the Hummer's approach. Under the influence of ultrasonic vibrations, two-dimensional borophene sheets exhibit exceptional piezocatalytic activity, as exemplified by the decomposition of highly stable organic pollutants in water. After only 1 minute of exposure, the piezocatalytic activity of borophene sheets converted up to 99 percent of the initial molecules of rose bengal dye (50 mg/L) at room temperature, neutral pH. The principal active oxidant species have been identified as superoxide (•O2-) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH) formed from H2O and dissolved O2. The induction of polarized electric charges has also been measured during the process. Further elucidation of the piezocatalytic mechanism suggests that the piezocatalytic efficiency can be related to the piezoelectric effect generating electric charges to increase charge transfer during chemical redox reactions. Our research provides new insights into the preparation of borophene and its use as piezo catalysts for environmental catalysis.

“…These advanced modified nanosheets will play an important role not only in biomedicine and disinfection but also in disinfection. However, due to their biocompatibility and exotic nature, they could also be the leading materials for cosmetic applications [ 125 ]. In addition to the fabrication of new crystalline antibacterial nanostructures, ultra-thin and large borophene nanosheets can be designed with different biopolymers such as biocompatible polydopamine (PDA) and transformed into smart delivery nanoplatforms, which can effectively target cellular system in the tumor environment due to the enhanced cellular uptake efficiency [ 126 ].…”

“…For this reason, it is necessary to understand its interaction with the organism of animals and humans. Recently, the antibacterial activity of borophene nanoplatelets 25 against Staphylococcus aureus , Pseudomonas aureginosa , Escherichia coli and antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Aspergillus brasiliensis has been also demonstrated. However, the mechanism of inhibitory activity against bacterial and fungal pathogenic microorganisms of borophene is not revealed so far 25 .…”

The family of graphene-based materials welcomed a new member, borophene, in 2014. Research on synthesis routes and experimental study on physicochemical and biological (especially in vivo) properties still is strongly desired in order to evaluate its practical potential as a drug delivery-system. The effect of two-dimensional borophene nanoflakes on cells, systems and the entire animal organism has not been studied so far. Therefore, we investigated in vivo its biocompatibility with hemocytes in the Tenebrio molitor as a model organism. Short-term studies demonstrated that borophene nanoflakes at doses of 0.5, 1 or 2 µg of nanoflakes per insect did not induce hemocytotoxicity. Hemocytes exposed to nanoflakes showed morphology, adhesiveness and ability to form filopodia as in the control hemocytes. A detailed study indicates that borophene nanoflakes do not: (i) generate intracellular reactive oxygen species in hemocytes, (ii) affect the mitochondrial membrane potential and (iii) interfere with phagocytosis. Therefore, this contribution presents new in vivo insights into the group of two-dimensional materials which are one of the most promising materials for biomedical applications owing to their special structure and unique properties. However, long-term studies in insects and other animals are still necessary to confirm that borophene is biocompatible and biologically safe.
