Review of electron transport properties in borophene

Due to the unique physical and chemical properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as linear band structure near the Fermi level, high electrical and thermal conductivity, they have opened up a wide vision in the fabrication of nanoelectronic devices, energy storage and information transmission. One of the theses materials that has recently received attention is a two-dimensional monolayer of boron atoms called borophene which has various allotropes such as α, β12, χ3, 2-pmmn and 8-pmmn. This 2D material has tilted and anisotropic Dirac cone and in addition to excellent transparency, it has excellent electron and ion conductivity. These properties along with other properties of borophene have caused diverse and potential applications of this material in gas sensors, metal ion batteries and electronic and optoelectronic devices. In this paper, we intend to review the properties of borophene and investigate the effect of factors such as impurity, light radiation, strain, dimension reduction in the form of nanoribbon, temperature, electric and magnetic fields on the properties of electron transport in this material.
