Printed electronics have been attracting significant interest for their potential to enable flexible and wearable electronic applications. Together with printable semiconductors, solution-processed dielectric inks are key in enabling low-power and high-performance printed electronics. In the quest for suitable dielectrics inks, two-dimensional materials such as hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) have emerged in the form of printable dielectrics. In this work, we report barium titanate (BaTiO) nanoparticles as an effective additive for inkjet-printable h-BN inks. The resulting inkjet printed BaTiO/h-BN thin films reach a dielectric constant () of ∼16 by adding 10% of BaTiOnanoparticles (in their volume fraction to the exfoliated h-BN flakes) in water-based inks. This result enabled all-inkjet printed flexible capacitors with ∼ 10.39 nF cm, paving the way to future low power, printed and flexible electronics.

Fluorescence spectra of single terrylene molecules adsorbed on hexagonal boron nitride flakes were recorded at cryogenic temperatures. The pure electronic transitions of terrylene molecules are spread over a broad energy scale from 570 to 610 nm. Surprisingly, peaks in the vibrationally resolved fluorescence spectrum show intensity variations of ≤20-fold between molecules.

Improving the thermoelectric performance and service stability is essential for the effective use of cuprous selenide (CuSe). In this study, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) was incorporated into nano-CuSe, with the goal of enhancing thermoelectric performance and service stability. It was found that CuSe-0.

Chirality, a basic property of symmetry breaking, is crucial for fields such as biology and physics. Recent advances in the study of chiral systems have stimulated interest in the discovery of symmetry-breaking states that enable exotic phenomena such as spontaneous gyrotropic order and superconductivity. Here we examine the interaction between light chirality and electron spins in indium selenide and study the effect of magnetic field on emerging tunnelling photocurrents at the Van Hove singularity.

ConspectusThe emergence of two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), has sparked significant interest due to their unique physicochemical, optical, electrical, and mechanical properties. Furthermore, their atomically thin nature enables mechanical flexibility, high sensitivity, and simple integration onto flexible substrates, such as paper and plastic.The surface chemistry of a nanomaterial determines many of its properties, such as its chemical and catalytic activity.

By using a tight-binding model, first-principles calculations, and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we theoretically demonstrate that the C76-Td-assembled two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb lattice is stable at room temperature and is resistant to mechanical deformation. We disclose that each C76-Td mimics a single carbon atom (geometrically and electronically); hence, it plays the role of one supercarbon. This inspires that the 2D material exhibits an exotic hourglass-like fermion at the Fermi level.
