Adsorbates: Volatile Organic Compounds would be examined toward fabricating cancer detector sensors - Adsorbents: substrate supported borophene, multilayers borophene, charged borophene, or other polymorphs of borophene would be considered aiming toward realization these prospective sensors 48 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com REFERENCES [1] Albert, B., & Hillebrecht, H (2009) Boron: Elementary challenge for experimenters and theoreticians Angewandte Chemie -
