van der Waals heterostructures by stacking different two-dimensional materials are being considered as potential materials for nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices because they can show the most potential advantages of individual 2D materials.
Combining van der Waals heterostructures by stacking different two-dimensional materials on top of each other layer-by-layer can enhance their desired properties and greatly extend the applications of the parent materials.
Constructing a van der Waals heterostructure (vdWH) by stacking different two-dimensional (2D) materials has been considered to be an effective strategy to obtain the desired properties.
It is found that the biaxial strain, electric field and interlayer distance can effectively modulate the electronic structure and magnetic properties of two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures.
We investigate a van der Waals heterostructure constructed using BP and C3N and investigate its use as an anode for lithium-, sodium- and potassium-ion batteries.
