Graphene and Boronitrene (White Graphene)

Graphene represents a single atomic layer of sp2-bonded carbon atoms which excels by its unique electronic properties. Irrespective of the particular application, large scale synthesis of graphene is required when using this material in future everyday life. Boronitrene (also called "White graphene" or h-BN monolayers) is an isostructural and isoelectronic analogue of graphene with the honeycomb lattice built by two different sublattices - one made by N atoms and one made by B atoms. Boronitrene represents a one-monolayer insulator that is predicted to replace silicon oxide in future nano transistors.
