The electronic properties of moiré heterostructures depend sensitively on the relative orientation between layers of the stack. For example, near-magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) commonly shows superconductivity, yet a TBG sample with one of the graphene layers rotationally aligned to a hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) cladding …
Here, we report the integration of borophene into 2D heterostructures with graphene.

In this paper a systematic examination of graphene/hexagonal boron nitride (g/hBN) bilayers is presented, through a recently developed two-dimensional phase field crystal model that incorporates out-of-plane deformations. The system parameters are determined by closely matching the stacking energies and heights of g/hBN bilayers to …

Also, first results from the incorporation of boron into graphene oxide are reported.24

These data demonstrate the uniform doping of boron atoms into carbon networks of graphene nanoplatelets derived from the homogeneous mixing of GO with B 2 O 3. The atomic percentage of boron determined from the EELS mapping is 6.88%, which is approximately consistent with that from the XPS analysis.

In recent years, two-dimensional atomic-level thickness crystal materials have attracted widespread interest such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), silicene, germanium, black phosphorus (BP), transition metal sulfides and so on.

Since its discovery, graphene has been the subject of intense experimental and theoretical study. 1 The lack of an electronic bandgap, however, has stymied graphene's application in nanoelectronic devices.

Graphene on hexagonal boron nitride exhibits a rotation-dependent moir{'e} pattern 4,5. Here, we show experimentally and theoretically that this moir{'e} pattern acts as a weak periodic potential and thereby leads to the emergence of a new set of Dirac points at an energy determined by its wavelength.
The resultant boron-graphene composite had a diameter of 20 mm. For simplification, the samples were designated as xBG, where 'x' represents the weight percentage of boron, 'B' stands for boron, and 'G' denotes the graphene-based composite. Boron-graphene composites with boron contents of 0, 5, 10, and 20 wt% were fabricated individually.
