Abstract

As a new member of two-dimensional (2D) materials family, 2D transition metal borides (MBenes) have attracted rising attention owing to the remarkable thermodynamic stability, electrical and mechanical properties. Over the past several years, the study of MBenes has been extended from theoretical simulations to experimental applications, stimulated by the increasing synthesis methods of MBenes. However, the recent experimental applications about MBenes have not been comprehensively introduced. This review concentrates on a comprehensive overview of MBenes which have accordion-like structures derived from multilayer MAB phases and their relevant experimental progress. First, the concept of MBenes, development progress, structural, basic properties are introduced. Then synthetic routes for the production of MBens, including alkaline/acid solution, dealloying, molten salt-assisted etching methods are surveyed. Subsequently, the introduction and analysis of the latest applications such as metal-ion batteries, metal-air batteries, photocatalysis, electrochemical catalysis, sensors, environmental technology, magnetism, lubrication are summarized. Finally, perspectives and challenges for MBenes in synthesis and applications are briefly presented.

Key words
