Activation of p-block elements to replace the rare and precious transition metals for
renewable energy applications is highly desirable. In this review, we go over recent …

Since the last century, the abundance of MXenes, two-dimensional (2D) transition-metallic
carbides/nitrides isolated from multilayer MAX states, has gained considerable attention in …

Abstract 2D MBenes, early transition metal borides, are a very recent derivative of ternary or
quaternary transition metal boride (MAB) phases and represent a new member in the …

The vertical integration of distinct 2D materials in van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures
provides the opportunity for interface engineering and modulation of electronic as well as …

Abstract 2D transition metal borides (MBenes) have emerged as promising post‐MXene
materials with potential application in various biotechnological fields. Although they possess …

Conventional MAX phases (M is an early transition metal, A represents a p-block element or
Cd, and X is carbon or nitrogen) have so far been limited to carbides and/or nitrides. In the …

We have carried out a first-principles investigation of mechanical, electronic, thermodynamic
and optical properties of the recently predicted thermodynamically stable MAX phase boride …

Two-dimensional (2D) metal-boride-derived nanostructures have been a focus of intense
research for the past decade, with an emphasis on new synthetic approaches, as well as on …

Abstract Zr 2 SB and Hf 2 SB were synthesized via solid-state reactions and the crystal
structures were determined by powder X-ray diffraction. Both compounds crystallize in the …

Abstract 212 MAX phase borides are new additions to the MAX phase family with enhanced
thermo-mechanical properties. In this article, first-principles calculations have been carried …
