Abstract
Allotropic 2D materials are the new frontier of materials science, due to their unique strategic properties and application within several sciences. Allotropic 2D materials have shown tunable physical, chemical, biochemical, and optical characteristics, and among the allotropic materials, graphene has been widely investigated for its interesting properties, which are highly required in biomedical applications. Recently, the synthesis of thin 2D boron sheets, developed on Ag(111) substrates, was able to create a 2D triangular structure called borophene (BO). Borophene has consistently shown anisotropic behavior similar to graphene. In this topical review, we will describe the main properties and latest applications of borophene. This review will critically describe the most interesting uses of borophene as part of electronic and optical circuits. Moreover, we will report how borophene can be an innovative component of sensors within biomedical devices, and we will discuss its use in nanotechnologies and theranostic applications. The conclusions will provide insight into the latest frontiers of translational medicine involving this novel and strategic 2D allotropic material.

Summary
The recent development of cutting-edge nanotechnologies has allowed researchers to achieve significant steps forward in the study of new materials that are applicable to medical biotechnologies. Borophene certainly peculiartoproperties, and can be considered a 2D allotropic In this topical review, we will describe the main properties material, with several aspects that are applicable to medical devices. We will carefully describe the main studies how structures of borophene have an impact on its ability to work in optical circuits, on electronic concerning important applications borophene in thethe medical field, and try to express our devices, andthe in most biomedical sensors. Optical coefficients have been linked to the anisotropy of the structure of borophene; we excellent mechanical, thermal, and electrical conductivity properties. The good optoelectronic properties and ability to be a superconductor allow borophene-based nanostructures to be strategic for the production of nano-devices that are applicable in different medical fields [18]
