Situated between metals and non-metals in the periodic table, boron is one of the most
chemically versatile elements, forming at least sixteen bulk polymorphs composed of …

Boron nitride (BN) structures are featured by their excellent thermal and chemical stability
and unique electronic and optical properties. However, the lack of controlled synthesis of …

At the atomic-cluster scale, pure boron is markedly similar to carbon, forming simple planar
molecules and cage-like fullerenes. Theoretical studies predict that two-dimensional (2D) …

The Haber–Bosch process for industrial NH3 production suffers from harsh reaction
conditions and serious CO2 emission. Electrochemical N2 reduction offers a carbon-neutral …

Two‐dimensional boron materials have recently attracted extensive theoretical interest
because of their exceptional structural complexity and remarkable physical and chemical …

What is boron? The question itself may not seem very significant to many people. Their
introduction to the word “boron” could come as the butt of a joke. Conan O'Brien made jokes …

The structural stability and diversity of elemental boron layers are evaluated by treating them
as pseudoalloy B1–x⬡ x, where⬡ is a vacancy in the close-packed triangular B lattice. This …

Recently, tremendous efforts have been devoted to developing carbon-based metal-free
catalysts as an alternative to metal-based catalysts for remediation of emerging …

The maturation of nanotechnology has revealed it to be a unique and distinct discipline
rather than a specialization within a larger field. Its textbook cannot afford to be a chemistry …

Although two-dimensional boron (B) has attracted much attention in electronics and
optoelectronics due to its unique physical and chemical properties, in-depth investigations …
