Review—Towards 5th Generation AI and IoT Driven Sustainable Intelligent Sensors Based on 2D MXenes and Borophene

Sensors are considered to be an important vector for sustainable development. The demand to meet the needs of future generations is accelerating the development of intelligent sensor-systems integrated with internet of things (IoTs), fifth generation (5G) communication, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) strategies. The inclusion of 2D nanomaterials with the IoTs/AI/ML has revolutionized the diversified applications of sensors in healthcare, wearable electronics, safety, environment, defense, and agriculture. Owing to their unique physicochemical characteristics and surface functionalities, borophene and MXenes have emerged as advanced 2D-materials (A2M) to architect future-generation…
