  In this work we report results of step-by-step modeling of the oxidation of
free-standing boron monolayers of different types. Results of the calculations
demonstrate that the process of the oxidation is always exothermic and lead
toward the formation of foam-like boron oxide films with incorporated
non-oxidized small boron clusters. Some of these boron-oxide films demonstrate
the presence of chemically stable magnetic centers. Evaluation of the physical
properties of oxidized boprophene sheets (OBS) demonstrate it possible
application in solar energy, as sensors and coating against leakage of
hydrogen.
