Metallic penta-Graphene/penta-BN2 heterostructure with high specific capacity: A novel application platform for Li/Na-ion batteries

2D Layered Materials for Fast‐Charging Lithium‐Ion Battery Anodes

“…In addition, 2D layered penta‐BN 2 also exhibits inherent metal properties before and after Li lithiation, maintaining a high conductivity in the whole charging process. [ 111 ] These characteristics provide 2D layered penta‐BN 2 with great prospects in the field of fast‐charging LIBs. Despite these theoretical predictions, there is a lack of experimental verification.…”

Utilizing the Built-In Electric Field of SnS2/C3N Heterostructure to Promote High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries

“…Heterostructure has a synergistic impact on the electrochemical performances of electrode materials; − the Fermi level differential between the two phases will induce electrons to travel across the interface and generate a built-in electric field that arouses charge redistribution; it serves as active sites for electrochemical reactions − and deals with the issue of SnS 2 -like materials with significant volume variations. − Currently, graphite is thought to be the best material for building heterojunctions due to its low cost and lack of noticeable volume variations. However, the performance of graphite is still limited; for instance, it results in capacity loss when constructing heterojunctions, and N-doped graphene can greatly increase conductivity and charge transfer, which will enhance its electrochemical performances .…”

Enhancement in photocatalytic water splitting using van der Waals heterostructure materials based on penta-layers

“…29,30,32,33,44,45 Recently, numerous researchers have investigated heterostructures based on a combination of individual pentagonal monolayers and reported fascinating properties for future applications. [46][47][48][49][50] For example, Wang et al 46 found that the KAgSe/SiC 2 heterojunction exhibits a type-III band alignment that can be modified by a transition from type-III to type-I/II band alignment under external electric field. Zhang et al 47 demonstrated that the SiAs 2 /GeP 2 heterojunction exhibits a type-II band alignment with a desirable power conversion efficiency of up to 12.1%, indicating good properties for solar energy conversion in photovoltaic applications.…”
