Borophene
- Borophene is a single-atom-thick sheet of boron, made entirely of boron atoms. It is among the lightest, strongest, and most flexible known two-dimensional materials.
- First synthesized in 2015, it is often called “graphene’s lighter, stronger, and more flexible cousin.”
- It is an ultralight, exceptionally strong and flexible 2-D material with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, high chemical reactivity, and low friction with high wear resistance.
- Applications: Next-generation batteries, hydrogen storage, supercapacitors and flexible electronics, biomedical devices, sensors, catalysis, and advanced lubrication ....
