研究目的
Investigating the electronic and optical properties of monolayer and bilayer pentagonal BN structures to explore their potential applications in photodetectors, photocatalysis, and photovoltaic arrays.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that monolayer and bilayer pentagonal BN polymorphs exhibit tunable electronic and optical properties, making them suitable for applications in photodetectors, photovoltaic, and photocatalysis. The findings highlight the potential of geometry engineering to modify the properties of BN thin films for specific applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to theoretical calculations and simulations, and experimental validation is required to confirm the findings. Additionally, the stability of some monolayer structures, such as B4N2, is questionable, which may limit their practical applications.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were implemented in a Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package (VASP) to study the geometry stabilization and electronic properties of monolayer and bilayer pentagonal BN structures. The generalized gradient approximation (GGA) with a Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE) was used to describe the exchange interaction, and the projector-augmented wave (PAW) potential was applied for ion–electron interaction. For bilayer structures, the vdW correction DFT-D2 was applied to account for the interaction between BN layers.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Monolayer and bilayer pentagonal BN structures labeled as B2N4, B3N3, and B4N2 were designed and studied.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
VASP software was used for quantum computations.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
All atoms in monolayer and bilayer structures were relaxed with a force convergence of 10?2 eV/? and a total energy convergence of 10?5 eV. The k-sampling for the first Brillouin zone was 15 × 15 × 1 within the Monkhorst–Pack sampling k-mesh for the geometry optimization.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The electronic band structure, total/spin-polarized-projected DOS, and optical absorption spectrum were analyzed to understand the electronic and optical properties of the structures.
