“…It is recognized that novel properties are buried in the pentagon-based lattice of penta-graphene. , Currently over 130 pentagon-based two-dimensional (2D) materials have been theoretically designed, and some of them have been synthesized after the predictions, , including penta-PdSe 2 , , penta-PdS 2 , and penta-NiN 2 . These 2D sheets show intriguing properties and promising applications in auxetics, , nonlinear optics, , piezoelectricity, − thermal transport, − thermoelectricity, , photodetectors, photodiodes and gas sensors . It is interesting to notice that all of the pentagon-based 2D materials exclusively feature the type-2 and type-4 tiling patterns among the 15 known pentagonal tilings that tile the Euclidean plane with no gaps or overlaps by using identical copies of a pentagonal motif.…”
