In-plane heterojunctions, obtained by seamlessly joining two or more nanoribbon edges of isolated two-dimensional atomic crystals such as graphene and hexagonal boron nitride, are emerging as nanomaterials for the development of future multifunctional devices.

The thermal conductivities of single-layer BC3 (SLBC) sheets and their responses to environmental temperature, vacancy defects and external strain have been studied and compared with those of single-layer C3N (SLCN) sheets by molecular dynamics simulations.
