Plumbene: A new 2D-material resembling graphene

Abstract

Over two decades, two-dimensional materials attracted the attention of researches due to their superior mechanical and thermal properties. Plumbene, the new two-dimensional material, is a single layer of lead atoms hexagonally arranged like honeycomb structure. It already has the application as a topological insulator. In this paper, we will compare between structure and properties of graphene, silicene, and plumbene for the application of plumbene in batteries, machine manufacturing, shipbuilding, etc.
