Article Abstract

For effective heat dissipation in portable electronics, there is a great demand for lightweight and flexible films with superior thermal transport properties. Despite extensive efforts, enhancing the intrinsic low thermal conductivity of polymers while simultaneously maintaining their flexibility is difficult to achieve due to the dilemma of quarrying appropriate filler loading. Herein, a cellulose nanofiber-based film with high in-plane thermal conductivity up to 72.53 W m K was obtained by harnessing the advantage of functionalized boron nitride nanosheets (-BNNS) and black phosphorene (BP) the vacuum filtration process. Besides, our unique design based on the electrostatic coupling of black phosphorene and functionalized boron nitride nanosheets significantly reduced the interfacial thermal resistance of the composite films. This work offers new insights into establishing a facile, yet efficient approach to preparing high thermal conductive heat spreaders.

High-throughput computational screening of auxetic two-dimensional metal dichalcogenides and dihalides.

J Chem Phys

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Technology and System of Ministry of Education, College of Optoelectronic Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China.

Auxetic materials hold tremendous potential for many advanced applications, but candidates are quite scarce, especially at two dimensions. Here, we focus on two-dimensional (2D) metal dichalcogenides and dihalides with the chemical formula MX2 by screening structures sharing the P4̄m2 space group among 330 MX2 compounds from the computational 2D materials database. Via high-throughput first-principles computations, 25 stable MX2 (M = Mg, Ca, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ge, Cd, Sn; X = F, Cl, Br, I, O, S, Se) systems with in-plane negative Poisson's ratios (NPRs) are successfully identified.

Effect of Edge Reconstruction on the Growth Mechanism of Black Phosphorene.

Inorg Chem

December 2024

Department of Optoelectronic Science & Technology, School of Electronic Information and Artificial Intelligence, Shaanxi University of Science & Technology, Xi'an, Shaanxi 710021, China.

Based on our previous studies, the reconstruction of interlayer edges of black phosphorene (BP) is identified as a key factor impeding the growth of large-size BP films through the CVD method. In this study, we systematically explore the complex growth mechanisms of BP, specifically focusing on how edge reconstruction influences the growth of BP. The results reveal that BP with reconstructed edges is highly stable.
