Detailed

ABSTRACT 

As a fourishing member of the two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial family, MXenes have shown 

great potential in various research areas. In recent years, 
the continued growth of interest in MXene derivatives, 2D 
transition metal borides (MBenes), has contributed to the 
emergence of this 2D material as a latecomer. Due to the 
excellent electrical conductivity, mechanical properties and 
electrical properties, thus MBenes attract more researchers’ 
interest. Extensive experimental and theoretical studies have 
shown that they have exciting energy conversion and electrochemical storage potential. However, a comprehensive 
and systematic review of MBenes applications has not been 
available so far. For this reason, we present a comprehensive summary of recent advances in MBenes research. We 
started by summarizing the latest fabrication routes and excellent properties of MBenes. The focus will then turn to their exciting potential for 

energy storage and conversion. Finally, a brief summary of the challenges and opportunities for MBenes in future practical applications is presented.

HIGHLIGHTS
• Two-dimensional transition metal borides have high mechanical stability, high charge carrier mobility and great electrochemical performance.
• The potential applications of two-dimensional transition metal borides in the direction of energy conversion and storage have not been
systematically reviewed.
• We summarize the research on the role of two-dimensional transition metal borides in catalysis and ion batteries, and put forward the
new opportunities in preparation and biotechnology.
