Need of substrate and ultrahigh vacuum conditions for deposition of &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;borophene&lt;/span&gt; restricts &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;its&lt;/span&gt; large-scale applications and significantly hampers the advancement of research on &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;borophene&lt;/span&gt;. Herein, a facile and large-scale synthesis of &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;freestanding&lt;/span&gt; atomic sheets of &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;borophene&lt;/span&gt; through a novel liquid-phase exfoliation and the reduction of &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;borophene&lt;/span&gt; oxide is demonstrated. Electron microscopy confirms the presence of beta(12), X-3, and their intermediate phases of &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;borophene&lt;/span&gt;; X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning tunneling microscopy, corroborated with density functional theory band structure calculations, validate the phase purity and the metallic nature. &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;Borophene&lt;/span&gt; with excellent anchoring capabilities is used for sensing of light, gas, molecules, and strain. &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;Hybrids&lt;/span&gt; of &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;borophene&lt;/span&gt; as well as that of reduced &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;borophene&lt;/span&gt; oxide with other 2D materials are synthesized, and the predicted superior performance in energy storage is explored. The specific capacity of &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;borophene&lt;/span&gt; oxide is observed to be approximate to 4941 mAh g(-1), which significantly exceeds that of existing 2D materials and their &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;hybrids&lt;/span&gt;. These &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;freestanding&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;borophene&lt;/span&gt; materials and their &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;hybrids&lt;/span&gt; will create a huge breakthrough in the field of 2D materials and could help to develop future generations of devices and emerging applications.&lt;br /&gt;
