Functionalized hexagonal boron nitride bilayers: desirable electro-optical properties for optoelectronic applications

“…In fact, chemical functionalization is an important way to acquire new properties and extend the applications of 2D materials. 23–28 Encouraged by the successful preparation of few-layer and monolayer h-BN, in this work, the functionalized AB-stacking h-BN bilayers were systematically investigated employing first-principles calculations, and the stability and electronic and optical properties were discussed in details. The calculations reveal that hydrogenation and hydrofluorination can significantly improve the electronic and optical properties of the AB-stacking h-BN bilayer by inducing the interfacial B–N sp 3 bonding.…”
