BACKGROUND Appreciation of the fact that synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) materials
does not necessarily require van der Waals bonded layered precursors led to discovery of …

The development of new and more accurate fabrication technologies has, in the past few
years, boosted interest in advanced device manufacturing. 2D materials, thanks to their …

The use of a minimum amount of active metal makes single-atom catalysts (SACs) an
effective route to economically catalyze electrochemical reactions. However, maintaining …

Extensive research has been invested in two-dimensional (2D) materials, typically
synthesized by exfoliation of van der Waals solids. One exception is MXenes, derived from …

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 …

To achieve efficient ammonia synthesis via electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction
(NRR), a qualified catalyst should have both high specific activity and large active surface …

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

MBenes are post‐MXene materials that contain boron in their structure instead of carbon
and nitrogen. This unique composition offers an opportunity to explore the role of boron in …

MAB phases and their two-dimensional (2D) derivatives MBenes have attracted increasing
attention in electrochemical catalysis because of their unique structures and inherent …
