Borophene-graphene heterostructure: Preparation and ultrasensitive humidity sensing

2D boron nanosheet architectonics: opening new territories by smart functionalization

“…Tai et al fabricated "borophene-graphene" composites by heating a mixture of NaBH 4 and graphene. 127 The strong interaction between graphene and the boron nanosheets was evidenced by a shi in the binding energy of B element in the XPS spectra compared with single boron nanosheets. Owing to the strong B-C interaction and the sensitivity of 2D boron to water, the composite was assembled into a stable and highly sensitive humidity sensor.…”

Exploring the emerging applications of the advanced 2-dimensional material borophene with its unique properties

“… 161 Recently, greater efficiency as a sensor was observed in the β 12 and χ 3 phase when the direct micromechanical exfoliation technique was employed for their synthesis because by this method, the resulting sheets of borophene were highly crystalline, due to which there was an enhancement in the purity of chemical phase formation, necessary for an ideal sensor. 103 Moreover, there are other reports on the computational studies on borophene as humidity sensors, 164 metronidazole drug sensor 218 and many other sensors.…”

Borophene as a rising star in materials chemistry: synthesis, properties and applications in analytical science and energy devices

“…The synthesis of stable borophene was successfully completed, and it was used as a promising material for the fabrication of 2D heterostructures. 100 Borophene-graphene heterostructure nanomaterials have been synthesized by heating the mixture of NaBH 4 and few-layered graphene. The as-prepared borophene-graphene heterostructure acted as a humidity sensor, exhibiting several analytical features, including rapid response, ultrahigh sensitivity, and stability (Fig.…”
