We present an enhanced method for synthesizing sheets of borophane. Despite the challenges associated with low efficiency, we discovered that incorporating hydrochloric acid into the ion-exchange reaction significantly improved the production yield from 20% to over 50%. After a thorough examination of the reaction, we gained insight into the underlying mechanisms and found that the use of hydrochloric acid provides two key benefits: accelerated production of borophene and isolation of high-purity products. This method has the potential to pave the way for the production of novel topological 2D materials with potential industrial applications.
我们提出了一种增强的方法来合成硼烷片。尽管与低效率相关的挑战,我们发现将盐酸纳入离子交换反应中显著提高了产量,从 20%提高到 50%以上。在对反应进行了彻底的检查后,我们深入了解了潜在的机制,并发现盐酸的使用提供了两个关键的好处:加速了硼烯的生产和高纯度产品的分离。这种方法有可能为具有潜在工业应用的新型拓扑二维材料的生产铺平道路。
