Abstract

MBenes, a novel two-dimensional material, has gained wide recognition due to its attractive characteristics. MBenes exhibit the characteristics of metal boride structures, which provide exceptional chemical and structural stability that competes with the well-established MXenes (metal carbide/nitride). Numerous computational studies and pre-experimental results have demonstrated MBenes' significant chemical reactivity, mechanical strength, and high electrical conductivity. These qualities make MBenes a well-suited material for multifarious applications. Therefore, this review discusses various mechanistic approaches and their impacts on the structural features of MBenes, highlighting their distinctive properties that enhance exceptional performance in energy applications. Furthermore, a comprehensive examination of the optical, electrical, magnetic, and electrochemical properties of MBenes has been discussed. Additionally, the broad applicability of MBenes in energy storage, energy conversion, electronics, photonics, thermal management, biomedical, and environmental fields, emphasizes their potential to drive significant advancements. Furthermore, the strengths, limitations, critical challenges, and future research directions of MBenes have been thoroughly examined, as advancing the field demands innovative strategies to optimize the balance between performance, cost-effectiveness, and scalability. Thus, this review investigates the scope and perspective of MBenes in transforming next-generation technologies, highlighting assessments for a sustainable green future.
