Abstract:
To date, the scalable synthesis of elemental two-dimensional materials beyond graphene still remains elusive. Here, we introduce a versatile chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method to grow borophenes, as well as borophene heterostructures, by selectively using diborane originating from traceable byproducts of borazine. Specifically, metallic borophene polymorphs were successfully synthesized on Ir(111) and Cu(111) single-crystal substrates and conjointly with insulating hexagonal boron nitride ( h BN) to form atomically precise lateral borophene- h BN interfaces or vertical van der Waals heterostructures. Thereby, borophene is protected from immediate oxidation by a single h BN overlayer. The ability to synthesize high-quality borophenes with large single-crystalline domains in the micrometer scale by a straight-forward CVD approach opens up opportunities for the study of their fundamental properties and for device incorporation.
