Borophene, as a rising-star monoelemental two-dimensional (2D) material, has motivated great interest because of its novel properties, such as anisotropic plasmonics, high carrier mobility, mechanical compliance, optical transparency, ultrahigh thermal conductance, and superconductivity. These properties make it an ideal candidate for use in the field of energy, sensors, and information storage. Stimulated by the realization of pioneering experimental works in 2015 and the follow-up synthesis experiments, a series of high-performance borophene-based devices in the fields, including supercapacitors, batteries, hydroelectric generators, humidity sensors, gas sensors, pressure sensors, and memories, have been experimentally reported in recent years, which are beneficial to the transition of borophene-based materials from experimental synthesis to practical application. Therefore, in addition to paying attention to the experimental preparation of borophene, significant efforts are needed to promote the advancement of related applications of borophene. In this review, after providing a brief overview of borophene evolution and synthesis, we mainly summarize the applications of borophene-based materials in energy storage, energy conversion, energy harvesting, sensors, and information storage. Finally, based on the current research status, some rational suggestions and discussions on the issues and challenges in the future research direction are proposed.
