Borophene, an elemental metallic Dirac material is predicted to have unprecedented mechanical and electronic character. Need of substrate ultrahigh vacuum conditions for deposition borophene restricts its large-scale applications significantly hampers the advancement research on borophene. Herein, a facile synthesis freestanding atomic sheets through novel liquid-phase exfoliation reduction oxide demonstrated. Electron microscopy confirms presence β12 , X3 their intermediate phases...
Abstract Insufficient carrier concentration and lack of room temperature ferromagnetism in pristine graphene limit its dream applications electronic spintronic chips. While theoretical calculations have revealed that graphitic ultradoping can turn into semiconducting ferromagnetic, the exotic set thermodynamic conditions needed for doping result defects functionalities which end up giving significant scattering. We report our discovery microwave with N > 30%, B ~ 19%, co-doping to form...
Borophene, the lightest elemental Dirac material, is realized experimentally in free-standing form by solution-phase synthesis Prashant Kumar, Ajayan Vinu, and co-workers, as described article number 1900353. Various sensing applications are demonstrated, such SERS-based molecular sensing, gas photo-sensing, strain sensing. This new material seems promising for large-scale applications, hybrid energy storage catalysis.
