Borophene has undergone extensive exploration in recent years for potential applications in sensing, electronics, optoelectronics, and energy storage due to its promising properties. However, the existing synthesis methods, such as molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, and physical vapor deposition, are expensive and challenging to implement. Therefore, it is important to establish simple and scalable synthesis approaches for borophene nanosheets to realize their diverse applications. In this study, we utilized a mixed-solvent-based liquid phase exfoliation strategy using a solvent mixture containing 50% ethanol and 50% water for borophene nanosheet synthesis. Furthermore, we performed surface modifications of these nanosheets using arginine (Arg) molecules, leading to the formation of Arg-functionalized borophene quantum dots (B-Arg). These B-Arg quantum dots were used as a fluorescent probe for detecting folic acid (FA) in various media, including aqueous solutions, human blood serum (HBS), artificial urine (AU), and FA tablet solutions. The observed detection limits were approximately 14.91 nM, 14.22 nM, 14.32 nM, and 14.94 nM for aqueous media, HBS, AU, and FA tablets, respectively, for the linear concentration range of 0−6.66 μM.

The incorporation of carbon nanotubes into cementitious composites increases their compressive and flexural strength, as well as their electrical and thermal conductivity. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) covalently functionalized with hydroxyl and carboxyl moieties are thought to offer superior performance over bare nanotubes, based on the chemistry of cement binder and nanotubes. Anionic carboxylate can bind to cationic calcium in the hydration products, while hydroxyl groups participate in hydrogen bonding to anionic and nonionic oxygen atoms. Results in the literature for mechanical properties vary widely for both bare and modified filler, so any added benefits with functionalization are not clearly evident. This mini-review seeks to resolve the issue using an analysis of reports where direct comparisons of cementitious composites with plain and functionalized nanotubes were made at the same concentrations, with the same methods of preparation and under the same conditions of testing. A focus on observations related to the mechanisms underlying the enhancement of mechanical strength and conductivity helps to clarify the benefits of using functionalized MWCNTs.
