Abstract:Icosahedral B12 serves as a fundamental building block for a variety of boron allotropes and plays a crucial role in enhancing the stability of fullerene-like boron nanoclusters. However, progress in the development of two-dimensional (2D) functional assemblies made from icosahedral B12 has been limited. In this context, we propose a 2D semiconducting boron allotrope (h-B12) using icosahedral B12 as a building block. This structure features a stable honeycomb lattice, with its unit cell comprising two mirror-s… Show more
