In this work, the authors present a tight‐binding (TB) model for describing the electronic properties of buckled triangular Borophene. This TB model is constructed using three orbitals for each boron atom. The Slater–Koster approach is applied to calculate TB Hamiltonian. Parameters of the TB model are fitted from the first‐principle energy band results. When only nearest‐neighbour hoppings are included, this TB model is sufficient to capture the bands around high‐symmetry k ‐points.
