Abstract

Abstract: The two-dimensional nanomaterials graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) have good thermal properties. When the two are combined together to form a planar C-BN hybrid structure or a van der Waals heterostructure due to the differences in crystal lattice and the electronic structure between graphene and h-BN, the new material is formed with novel thermal characteristics. We focus on the thermal properties of the two new materials as they change their configuration, size, and number of layers and review these novel characteristics. Graphical abstract: Image 1
