Bottom up approach of metal assisted electrochemical exfoliation of boron towards borophene

Abstract Electrochemical exfoliation of nonconductive boron to few-layered borophene is reported. This unique effect is achieved via the incorporation of bulk boron into metal mesh inducing electrical conductivity and opening a venue for borophene fabrication via this feasible strategy. The experime...
