Abstract
A multi-atomic layered material and methods of making and using the same are described. The material can include a first 2D non-carbon mono-element atomic layer, a second 2D non-carbon mono-element atomic layer, and intercalants positioned between the first and second atomic layers.
Claims19
A multi-atomic layered material comprising a first 2D mono-element atomic layer, a second 2D mono-element atomic layer, and intercalants positioned between the first and second atomic layers, wherein the first and second atomic layers have an inter-layer spacing and are bonded held together by van der Waals forces or sp3-hybridized bonding, or both;
- wherein the first and second atomic layers are each individually a silicene atomic layer, a germanene atomic layer, a stanene atomic layer, a phosphorene atomic layer, a lead atomic layer, or a borophene atomic layer;
- and
- wherein the intercalants are affixed between the first and second atomic layers;
- and wherein the intercalants are selected from the group consisting of polymers, block copolymers, polymer brushes, carbon-based intercalants, metal organic frameworks, zeolitic imidazolated frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, ionic liquids, liquid crystals, atomic clusters and nanoparticles comprising a metal or an oxide or alloy thereof, or any combination thereof, wherein the metal is selected from the group consisting of palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), gold (Au), rhodium (Rh), ruthenium (Ru), rhenium (Re), osmium (Os), iridium (Ir) silver (Ag), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), tin (Sn), boron (B), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), tellurium (Te), polonium (Po), or combinations thereof.
