Borophene as an anode material for metal-ion batteries

Abstract

Borophene is a novel 2D material whose history goes back only as far as the year 2015. Borophene is one atom thick 2D boron sheet which depict excellent optical, electronic, metallic, semiconducting, high mechanical anisotropic, and photothermal properties. Also, due to borophene’s high mechanical strength, high specific capacity, and low diffusion barrier it poses as an ideal candidate as an anode material for metal metal-ion batteries. This is the avenue of interest of this review paper, where we intend to discuss the existing theoretical and experimental basis of various polymorphic structures of Borophene, as anode materials for metal-ion batteries.
