“…Expanding the IGP family, Fabris and co-workers introduced the porous lattice based on Si (IGP-Si) in 2018 and, posteriorly, the ZnO GP-like material (IGP-ZnO) . Some years later, Abdullahi and colleagues explored the IGP-ZnO potential, highlighting its thermal stability and applications as a water membrane and a gas sensor. Group IV compounds, like SiC, , GeC, , and SiGe, and nonmagnetic metal oxides (BeO, CdO, and MgO) were also investigated in terms of the GP-like lattice.…”

Computational simulations based on density functional theory (DFT) were carried out to show that biaxial strain (ε; −10% to +10%) engineering is a smart choice to modify the main properties of the two-dimensional inorganic graphenylene-like silicon carbide (IGP-SiC). It was demonstrated that the compressive deformation leads to a buckling effect on the IGP-SiC; however, the planar configuration remains along the tensile strain. The IGP-SiC under both compressive (ε = 0 to −10%) and tensile (ε = 0 to +10%) regimes is thermally stable at 700 K, as unveiled by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. By assessing the Raman spectrum, the E 2g modes are red-shifted with tensile strain, which is similar to the graphene's tendency. Also, tensile deformation reduces the band gap energy from 3.22 eV (ε = 0%) to 2.48 eV (ε = +10%), leading the IGP-SiC to a visible-light spectrum. On the other hand, the compressive regime induces an opening of the band-gap energy to 4.05 eV (ε = −10%). Other remarkable results for strained IGP-SiC are the photocatalytic properties maintained at biaxial strain because the band edges meet the oxidation and reduction standard potentials, especially for strain regimes from +4% to +10%. Besides this, the IGP-SiC under strain application is a suitable alternative in photocatalytic degradation and water desalination due to its good performance in all pH environments.

“…In the past decade, several inorganic graphenyelenes (IGPs) have been proposed based on diverse compounds such as boron nitride (BN), aluminum nitride (AlN), gallium nitride (GaN), indium nitride (InN), SiC, GeC, , SiGe, ZnO, CdO, MgO, and BeO . Among them, IGP-ZnO showed up promising for SO 2 and NO 2 detection .
